VIDEO: Moment man kidnaps dog right in front of its unassuming owner… Who then starts screaming after him

This shocking footage shows a dog being kidnapped right under the nose of a person assumed to be its owner in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

Filmed on a phone camera in a property opposite the scene, the video appears to show a man standing alongside a dog and its presumed owner, who are on the ground.

After a few moments, the perpetrator, wearing a red top, picks up the dog and starts to run down the street as the other person scrambles to their feet trying to give chase.

The owner can be heard screaming, ‘please, not my dog’ and ‘please, somebody please’ while the man runs down the street making-off with the dog.
