Woman couldn’t bear seeing a man mistreat his dog on the street — one question later, she gave pup a second chance at life
It started like any other day, just a routine drive home. But for one woman, that moment quickly turned into something unforgettable. A situation unfolded on the street that was too disturbing to ignore. TikTok user Evelin, known as @eeve.xo, was in the right place at the right time and made a choice that would change one animal’s life. When she witnessed a stranger mistreating his pet dog, she knew she had to step in.
Evelin shared a video that has shocked viewers across social media. “I was driving back home when I saw [sic] this man drag this dog across the street, hitting him and picking [sic] him up, slamming him to the ground every time he stopped walking,” she wrote in the caption. “Then he would proceed to grab the thing he has in his hand and hit him over and over. I didn’t record any of that, but I could not let this dog go back home with him to die. This is sick behavior and animal abuse.”
In the video, Evelin approaches the man and starts a conversation. What follows is both heartbreaking and powerful. “Excuse me, do you not want that dog anymore?” she asks calmly. “I will take him if you don’t want him. It’s okay, I will take him. It looks like he hasn’t eaten anything in days. I will take him with me.” After a short pause, the man replies, “Are you sure?” and agrees to give her the dog. The exchange was quiet, but tense. This was not just a casual offer, but a desperate act to save a life.
Evelin later revealed more details in the on-screen texts of her video. “This guy was beating this dog up and slamming him against the floor, dragging him the whole time with his nails bleeding. He cut his tail off, and I could not just watch him take him back. I wish I had [sic] recorded him hitting him with the glass he has in his hand.” The video has since gone viral, with over 2.9 million views. Viewers flooded the comments with messages of praise and concern for the dog’s well-being.

Evelin also shared an update on the dog's condition in her post. She mentioned how the animal was extremely terrified at first, hiding behind the car and refusing to come out. But he eventually opened up and ate some food and drank water. As a mother of two pets, Evelin said she could not keep the dog, but she promised it a loving home. She shared in another post, "Tomorrow morning, I am meeting up with a local girl who is willing to take her to the vet and give her the love and home she deserves."
