A dog boutique in Los Angeles is under scrutiny after a worker choked and thrown a dog on its head.

The incident took place yesterday and was captured during a live stream on the Twitch platform by RipRoyce.

Bark n’ Bitches Dog Boutique are being quizzed on their ethics after a staffer was seen to pick up a dog that was playing a little too aggressively with a smaller dog and choke it before throwing the animal on its head on the concrete floor.

It is clear from the incident that after it’s thrown to the floor that it fears for its own safety as the dog hides under a bench in an effort to recover and stay away from danger — RipRoyce and those visiting Bark n’ Bitches Dog Boutique are in complete shock and approach the injured animal to comfort it.

In response to the horrific and unacceptable incident, Bark n’ Bitches gave this statement, “We will not tolerate this or any actions that put our rescues in harm’s way. The appropriate actions are being taken. This is NOT what we stand for.

The dog was playing and acting normal after this incident. She was taken to the vet and was cleared 100%.”

According to the owner of the rescue shop, “this is a first” and the boutique has been in business for 14 years — and the worker seen in the video has been fired.
