Caregiver looks after dog: What he does to the four-legged friend shocks the net
Gold Coast (Australia) - Ryan is a successful dog trainer and caretaker. He has more than 16,800 followers on TikTok and regularly shares insights into his everyday life. But the Australian triggered a violent shitstorm with one video.
In a video he posted but has since deleted, he can be seen holding a Golden Doodle and saying: "What's wrong with the Doodles? Except they always mess everything up."
Ryan then simply drops the dog on the floor - twice. It is not known whether the four-legged friend was injured in the process. But the fact is that the clip sparked a lot of outrage in the TikTok community.
"You shouldn't drop an animal , no matter what breed", someone complained. Another dog carer and therapist reposted the controversial video and sharply criticized Ryan's behaviour.
The owner of the pelt-nose also had his say in the comments and wrote: "What a disgusting way to treat my dog. I pay for your services just so you can badmouth my dog online. Great business model."

Animal welfare organization to monitor Ryan's behavior
Ryan has since apologized for his actions in another TikTok video.
The Australian reacted remorsefully to the Daily Mail: "I made a big mistake. I dropped the dog from a height while making a tasteless video. I shouldn't have done that."
Allegedly, the case was also reported to the animal welfare organization "RSPCA". According to the Daily Mail, however, they are not concerned about Ryan's actions.
Instead, the dog handler's activities will now be closely monitored, it added.
