The Saint John Police Force and the New Brunswick SPCA are investigating after videos of a young person punching and kicking a dog appeared on social media. The four videos, posted on Facebook early Sunday by another person, have been shared hundreds of times, garnered thousands of views, and drawn anger and threats from commenters. The dog in the videos has reddish-brown hair and might be a golden retriever. The person turns on the camera, attacks the dog, then turns off the camera. It's not clear how old she is, when the original videos were made or if the dog is still living in that home.
