LOS ANGELES – A viral video posted on social media appears to show an Arleta man stomping on his dog. He said that he was defending one of his other pets. The video, which has since been viewed thousands of times on social media, shows the man slamming his foot down on the dog and swinging his fist down at the dog multiple times. The man is also seen holding what appears to be a cattle prod. The dog’s shrieks can be heard in the background while a neighbor is heard screaming at him to stop.
