Police in Texas have identified a minor who livestreamed herself putting a small dog inside a clothes dryer and then turning it on.

The video shows a girl saying she was going to put the dog "back in the dryer." She then grabs a white dog, puts it in the dryer, screams and closes the door. After turning the dryer on, the girl laughs and claps while the machine runs for about six seconds.

She continues laughing after opening the door. The dog frantically climbs out of the dryer and then runs off-frame. The girl approaches the dog, who appears to hide under a table. She laughs while saying sorry.

The video has been viewed more than 5 million times.

The Dallas Police Department posted on Facebook that animal-cruelty detectives determined the incident took place in Lewisville, Texas.

The Lewisville Police Department followed that Facebook post with one of its own that said the girl in the video had been identified.

"DPD officers met with our investigators and provided all of the information they gathered in this case," the Lewisville Police Department wrote on Facebook. "Through their diligent work, DPD identified the individual involved. We will not publicly identify her as she is a minor."

The police department added the investigation into the incident is in its "early stages."

"The case is being investigated as Cruelty to non-livestock animals," LPD posted on Facebook. "No other information will be provided at this time. Due to the age of the person involved, few details in this case may be released."

After the video was posted on Twitter, many called for the girl to be found and arrested. The video was originally shared on Instagram Live, but a Twitter user posted it with the caption, "Someone please call the police on this girl, Some people don’t deserve dogs or pets at all. It’s complete abuse how they treat them."

People magazine reported the girl's account was deactivated “for multiple violations of our policies, including animal abuse.”

The incident is the latest in a string of people posting videos on social media and then being sought by police after public outcry. Last month, police got involved after a Texas minor posted a video of herself licking a tub of Blue Bell ice cream at a Walmart before putting it back on the shelf.
