To protect his granddaughter, the unnamed man picked up the dog and slammed it to the ground, resulting in its death.
The viral video showed the dog’s owner crying as she crouched next to her dead dog, saying: “You killed my dog! Come over here.”
Two onlookers retorted: “Your dog was chasing all of these kids, scaring them. The kids were being chased from one side of the neighbourhood to the other. Look how scared they are!”
The owner shot back: “But it didn’t bite her!”
