Ypsilanti, MI (January 15, 2026) — The Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV) continues to investigate the alleged abuse of a dog captured on a doorbell camera in Ypsilanti during the last week of 2025. An anonymous donor is now offering $1,000 cash for information leading to the filing of criminal charges in the case.

The video, recorded on Ypsilanti’s South Street, appears to show a man running onto a porch, grabbing a dog with light-colored fur, striking the dog several times, then lifting and dragging the dog by the neck while walking down the steps off the porch. In the footage, the dog’s legs appear to be lifted off the ground as the animal is scuffed along.

HSHV urges members of the public who may have witnessed this disturbing incident or who recognize the individual or dog in the footage to contact its Cruelty Investigation Department at 734-661-3512 or hshv.org/report. Tips can be submitted confidentially.
