Animal lovers around the country have been left disturbed and angered after a Texas woman recorded herself shoving her dog into a clothing dryer and hysterically laughing as she turned the machine on. The video, which was livestreamed on Instagram, made its rounds over the weekend and featured an unidentified woman heartlessly abusing her dog by putting him into the dryer. “I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna put his a— back in the dryer. He likes that s—, look!” the woman said in the since-deleted Instagram Live video, which was captured by a Twitter user. After locking her pup inside the dryer and closing the door, the woman turned on the machine and proceeded to cackle and scream with laughter while the pooch tumbled around inside for a few seconds. She then opened the door and showed her pet, who was mid-tumble, desperately escaping the machine and running away from his owner. The woman continued to laugh as she turned the camera back on her dog — now on the opposite side of the room underneath the living room table — as she offered an offhand apology to her clearly terrified pup.
