An online fury erupted over a shocking video that showed the brutal dragging and beating of a dog by a young man who appeared to an employee at a canine hotel. 

The video titled "Act of Brutality at Bucheon Canine Hotel High Dog School" was uploaded onto YouTube Thursday. There was no comment from the YouTuber who probably filmed the scene secretly from the rooftop of a building in Seoul's western satellite city of Bucheon.

The footage starts off with a peaceful rooftop scene as if six dogs and their owner enjoy a spring breeze, but it quickly turns into a brutal sight showing the man in black grabbing a Siberian husky by its collar and throwing it against the wall. When he started kicking, the Husky was seen fleeing to hide, but the man chased to carried on with his violent act.

As the footage was shared across online communities, an unnamed canine hotel official uploaded a post on Instagram saying the Husky belongs to the man who is working at the hotel.

The official said the Husky did not very hurt but promised to expel the Husky owner.
"We will immediately expel him. He is now being interrogated by law enforcers," the official wrote, adding his hotel takes care of the Husky.

The official apologized for such an "unimaginable and disappointing situation", but the hotel's Instagram page was bombarded with angry comments. "I just watched the video and I am shaking. I wish to beat you like you did to the poor dog," commented an Instagram user "Leedam".
