Netizens Blame Dog Owner After Her Fur Baby Got Injured on Escalator
A dog owner faced strong criticism online after her fur baby’s leg got caught in an escalator inside a shopping mall.
Recently, Garryyguirnaldo, a TikTok user, shared a video of a pet dog being caught by an escalator at a shopping mall. The post quickly went viral on social media and garnered various reactions from the online community.
In the video, an elderly woman is seen holding the leash of her small dog as they ride the escalator. As they neared the top, the dog’s paw became trapped in the moving steps. The scene was difficult to watch, and the dog appeared to be in pain while the woman struggled to respond.
Onlookers later shared that many were trying to help, but the incident had already caused stress and injury to the pet.
People online quickly reacted, and instead of blaming the mall, the attention turned toward the owner. Netizens pointed out that pets should be carried when using escalators, especially small dogs that are more vulnerable to getting stuck.
Many netizens expressed frustration, saying that a little caution could have prevented the accident. Some viewers also noted that there are often posted reminders in malls advising pet owners to carry their animals while on escalators.
