A video showing a dog allegedly left unattended on a balcony of a flat in Pune has triggered outrage on social media, with users calling for immediate intervention.
The clip, shared by X user Vidit Sharma, showed the dog confined to the balcony in what is claimed to be Loni Kalbhor. In the background, a woman recording the video from a nearby building was heard expressing concern.
“At least shade toh put karo or at least kuch rakh do uske liye (At least provide some shade or keep something for it),” she said.
In the caption accompanying the post, Sharma described the situation as “urgent and heartbreaking,” alleging that the dog had been left in extreme heat without shade or water and was being beaten. He urged people in the area to check on the animal, provide water, and alert local rescuers and NGOs.
“This is not just neglect, this is abuse. One small action can save a life today,” the caption read, while also appealing to others online to amplify the issue.

“What is wrong with people? Why have a dog at all if you can’t treat them with decency?” one user wrote, while another described the situation as “intentional cruelty.” Others used harsher language, condemning those responsible.
At the same time, several users questioned why the person recording the video did not step in to help the dog directly, suggesting that immediate action on the ground was equally important.
Several users have urged authorities and local animal welfare groups to intervene and ensure the dog’s safety.
