An unbelievable act of cruelty took place in Corfu in the early hours of Saturday (August 22), with the victim being a dog that was simply… sleeping. A reckless driver in the village of Avliotes, while driving down a narrow road and seeing the dog sleeping ahead of him, ran over it.
Footage posted on Facebook shows the vehicle initially slowing down and then running over the unfortunate dog. The dog begins to writhe in pain, trying to get up, but a few seconds later simply breathes its last on the road.
