A shocking video has been bouncing back and forth on the Internet since earlier today. The video shows how, while arresting a California man, a group of cops also gunned down his dog.

The incident happened in broad daylight and many people were watching, but the cops responsible for the animal's death didn't seem to care all that much about the consequences of their actions.

Immediately after being shot, the dog falls to the ground. It is clear that it is in a lot of pain.

Sources report that the police officers tried to arrest Leon Rosby, the dog's owner, after accusing him of interfering with an ongoing investigation.

Just as they were getting ready to handcuff him, the dog jumped out of the car, presumably to rescue its master. It got shot the moment it reached Leon's side.

The video is available here.

Viewer discretion is highly recommended, as the footage is extremely shocking.
