The stream was largely noticed after a post from Twitter user ‘sasaaok’ containing a video clip from the stream went viral a few hours after the alleged incident. “Someone please call the police on this girl, Some people don’t deserve dogs or pets at all. It’s complete abuse how they treat them” the tweet said.

In the video, the woman can be heard saying “Alright, I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna put his ass back in the dryer” while laughing. She then says “He likes that shit! Look! He likes that shit!” before coaxing the dog over, opening the appliance door, and picking it up and placing it inside.

The girl then opens the door, while absolutely screaming with laughter while the terrified animal climbs out and cowers under a table.

Update, 9:40AM EST, August 15:

A report suggests that the Dallas Police Department have identified the girl to be from Lewisville, Texas, and Lewisville police are now investigating the incident as cruelty to non-livestock animals. 

Police are refusing to reveal the identity of the girl in question, due to her age. The dog has since been evaluated by a veterinarian, and the investigation is pending on results from the evaluation. 

People are absolutely furious

As sasaaok’s tweet went viral, people called for action to be taken against the Instagram user for her actions.
