After being returned by a good Samaritan, a paralyzed dog was mercilessly abandoned on the street twice in one day by his indifferent owners.

The sad puppy named Tintin is shown being abandoned by a woman hours before being returned to his family in a heartbreaking video.

A few hours later, the woman’s husband abandoned Tintin.

One of the pet’s front legs is gone, while the other is disabled.

He was mercilessly abandoned in the city of Sao Leopoldo, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil.

The terrifying video was posted on Facebook, where it garnered more than 220,000 views and hundreds of comments.

A white car is seen stopping on the side of the road before the driver opens the back door and two dogs run out.

Before forcibly pushing the crippled dog, the woman is seen urging the black dog to get into the back seat.

Tintin appears to limp behind the woman as she walks away.

The dog was abandoned twice in the same day after being returned to the family, according to local media, and then the woman’s husband moved it to another area where he left it just hours later.

According to reports, the three-legged dog was rescued and is now in the hands of local animal protection agencies.

After the video was published on social networks, more than 30 people volunteered to adopt the dog, which was born with its problems.

Meanwhile, neighborhood officials are apparently investigating the animal’s abandonment.
