New Delhi, November 4, 2025: A distressing video that allegedly depicts a domestic help brutally assaulting a family’s pet dog in Bengaluru has recently gone viral, causing widespread shock and anger across the nation. The footage, which was initially shared by the dog’s owners, showed repeated acts of cruelty being inflicted upon the defenseless animal within the confines of a private residence. The entire incident was brought to public attention via social media, where the cruelty was condemned universally.
The viral clip was captured by security cameras installed inside the house. In the footage, the domestic help was seen repeatedly hitting, kicking, and violently manhandling the pet dog. The dog, identified as a Golden Retriever named ‘Hulk’ or a similar breed, was shown struggling and yelping during the prolonged assault.

The distressing content of the video ignited massive outrage among animal lovers and citizens. Calls for immediate and stringent legal action were issued across social media platforms. The incident was highlighted as a grim reminder of the often-unreported abuse suffered by domestic animals and the urgent need for greater accountability for pet caretakers.

The use of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras was acknowledged as crucial in exposing the hidden abuse in this particular case. The loss of ‘Hulk’ is being mourned by the online community, and the incident is expected to prompt a broader conversation about animal protection laws and the need for stricter background checks for hired help.
