A young puppy named "Kikiam" is at risk of losing one of its legs after being violently assaulted by a drunken man in Barangay Santolan, Pasig City.

The incident, captured on video, has sparked outrage online and in the community.

According to EJ Gomez’s report on “24 Oras” Thursday, the man responsible is a cousin of the dog’s owner.

Witnesses said the suspect, who was visibly intoxicated, caused a commotion in the neighborhood before targeting the dog.

“‘Ay nangangagat ka?!’ Bigla niya pong pinaghahabol po ng tsinelas, hinampas hampas niya po. Sinipa niya pa po yun e,” recounted "Riri," the puppy's owner, describing the suspect’s violent reaction.

A witness reported that the injured puppy cried in pain and fled to a corner after being attacked. CCTV footage showed the puppy being slammed onto a concrete floor and whimpering in agony.

The suspect later went to the barangay hall claiming the puppy bit him. However, authorities noted inconsistencies.

“Noong una, nagpa-blotter siya. Ang sabi niya, nakagat siya ng aso. Lasing nga siya nung pumunta rito,” said barangay desk officer Ronaldo Cruz.

Kikiam was taken to a veterinarian who confirmed the puppy suffered a bone fracture.

“Kapag ‘di daw gumaling, nakuha sa gamot, baka putulin yung isang paa niya kasi may crack sa may buto,” said Riri.

The suspect, a tricycle driver, has gone into hiding. Meanwhile, Riri plans to file formal charges against him as Kikiam continues to recover.
