A disgusting dog owner was captured on a doorbell camera repeatedly striking a puppy.
Tyler Steele is alleged to have repeatedly punched a 12-week-old XL Bully in the head before throwing it across a street.
It’s understood that the 25-year-old turned violent after the puppy disobeyed him.
Previously Steele was caught on camera grabbing a French Bulldog by the scruff and throwing it into the air.
The two incidents happened just outside of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, according to the Daily Mail.
The publication added that Steele purchased the puppy, named Bo, two weeks ago for £1,000 from a couple named Ashley Salmon and Megan Dawson.
Ashley demanded that Bo be returned to him after seeing the footage of the alleged unprovoked attack.
The 24-year-old is now looking after the puppy for the time being.
Speaking to MailOnline, Ashley said: “He initially said that he didn’t want to part with her as she was his pet and he loved her, but I snapped back that he couldn’t love her all that much if he was willing to beat her senseless.”
Both the RSPCA and local police are now seeking Steele after the footage went viral.
In the disgusting 23-second clip, Steele can be seen crouching down beside the frightened puppy, who refuses to move.
He then shouts at the scared animal “Come on, no, come here”.
When Bo refuses to move again, Steele can be seen punching the puppy in the head five times. Bo can also be heard whimpering in pain.
He then walked off but reappeared carrying the dog while launching a foul-mouth rant saying: ‘I don’t want it no want it no more, he can f**k off.’
The owner of the doorbell camera uploaded the footage onto social media last week, which quickly went viral.
Steele can be seen in a second clip confronting the owner about the clip, and can be heard saying: “I don’t give a f*** about the video, I’ve told everyone it was me. I don’t give two flying f***s. I’ll treat my dog how I want to treat it”.
Staffordshire Police confirmed today they want to question him about the alleged animal abuse
A force spokeswoman said: “We are aware of the video of a puppy in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, circulating on social media and are investigating alongside the RSPCA. Enquiries are continuing to trace the man.”
An RSPCA spokesman said: “We are aware of this and are looking into it. As such, we are unable to comment further at this time.”
