Is This Photo of a Dog Being Dragged on a Leash Real or Fake?
A photo purportedly showing a dog being dragged on its back by a leash has circulated online for months. What is the origin of this photo and is it real?
The photo is real.
This shot, and several other similar photos, were published on August 4, 2006 on a Chinese website as part of a news story about 13 stray dogs being rounded up in the city of Fuzhou on July 31 of that year. So this photo is not of some rogue animal abuser, but of a city official doing his job. Part of the news story (as translated by Google) reads:
Immediately after law enforcement officers found the dog in front of a car around to the rear of the dog to stop, “dog car” immediately followed by outflanking from the front of the officers approached the soil ranging from outflanking the front two “dog” dogs, beat the dog from the dog back quietly on a team has picked up a wooden stick alignment dog head, due Tugou awarded by the escape, in the bar and click on the lost consciousness in the past. A city management staff wear gloves, readily picked up the dog no longer move, and crushed it into several with the carcass of a dog box loaded.
The photo has appeared on Facebook with captions such as:
like if you’re against this
ignore if you don’t care 
Below is the photo being circulated, along with a few others from the news story:
It appears that this Chinese city doesn’t view stray dogs with the same compassion that other cultures do. What are your thoughts on this story?

When I first saw this picture I was horrified and it stuck in my head for days. Sadly I have discovered that this doggie must have died an agonising death – as have so many hundreds of strays. I really wish people would be responsible and sterilise their pets to prevent unwanted pups and kittens. They end up being mistreated and die in shelters all over the world, unloved and unwanted. God gave us dominion over animals – not to abuse them, but to love and cherish them as He loves us. If we can’t show compassion for the lowly animal, how to we learn to love our fellow man? RIP little doggie…
Well stated Michelle. Thank you for your comment.
Very we’ll put, Michelle!
Jesus Christ!! What the HELL is wrong with some so-calle “humans”??? Well stated Michelle,that poor little thing. Hug your furbabies, people.
Michelle, really you say god gave us dominion over animals,all gods creatures should live side by side as equals, who gives us a right on who or what animal lives or dies… look at the picture and sad to say that’s dominion of some humans is so so cruel
So… The lion is equal to the gazelle? That’s not how the food chain works. The lion doesn’t taunt and torture the gazelle but clearly…they are not equals.
Dogs must die. Thank you china.
