This is the moment a callous thief threw a lasso around a dog's neck and dragged it at speed into his gang's van.
Shocking CCTV footage captures the thug snatch the pet in broad daylight and speed away.
The dog's desperate owner runs after the vehicle but is unable to stop it getting away.
The raid happened on November 8 at around 8.45am in Guangzhou, south China and is thought to be one of a spate of violent thefts carried out by the same gang.
