Horror as Oklahoma man stomps on puppy in shock video: Animal rights advocates ... trends now
Footage shows an unidentified man stomping a puppy in a still-unsolved attack.
The disturbing deed was caught on camera outside a business in southeast Oklahoma City, after a different dog was found dead days earlier on the same stretch of road.
It remains unclear if this dog died, and authorities are looking for the man responsible. He is seen bombarding the animal with blows before midnight on March 27, though officials say it's what can't be seen in the clip that's even more disturbing.
Just before, animal welfare officials and local cops said the man carried the puppy down the street by its back legs, dragging its nose on the pavement.
Following the awful beating, the video also shows the man picking the puppy up and throwing it on the ground before he leaves. The city's animal welfare superintendent broke down the video for local news stations after it was shared Tuesday by OKCPD.

Cops are now searching for the man responsible, sharing footage of the March 27 incident on Tuesday. They are asking for citizens' help identifying the man. He is seen bombarding the dog with blows, though officials say it's what can't be seen in the clip that's even more disturbing
'Most people hear the stories about serial killers, start off killing animals, and it's a real thing,' said Jon Gary, Oklahoma City Animal Welfare Superintendent.
'[The man in the footage] punches it multiple times, kicks on him, stomps on him.
'We have not found the puppy at this point,' he said, speaking to KWTV-DT.
The official went on to reveal to News 4 that he and local cops became aware of the situation after it got a call last month from the owner of a business on the street - 3700 block of S. Missouri Ave.
The proprietor, Gary recalled, had found a different dog, this one dead.
Following a brief investigation, Gary and local cops discovered the animal had been hit by a vehicle, but in the process, the business owner also found video of the recorded beating involving the second dog.
Despite there being no body this time around, Gary said he fears the more recent dog - only a puppy - suffered the same fate.
'Obviously, our biggest fear right now is that he went somewhere, and he's deceased now,' he told KWTV-DT, visibly perturbed by the now-circulating footage.
Growing emotional, he added: 'You could tell by the video that, it's very, you know, it is, it's horrific what happened to this puppy.'
