A video showing a man applying pain relief ointment all over his dog inside a subway train has gone viral among internet users, prompting an animal protection organization to search for him.

According to the animal protection group CARE on August 4, a report was received around 5:40 p.m. on August 1, alleging that a man abused his dog with pain relief ointment on a train bound for Cheongnyangni. In the video, a man appearing to be in his 40s or 50s boards the train with a medium-sized mixed-breed dog, and a thick plastic wrap is seen around the dog's neck.

The man then takes out the ointment from his pocket and, without hesitation, applies it to the dog's genitals, nose, face, and around the eyes, covering its entire body. When the dog tries to escape, he brings it back and continues the act.

The informant, identified as A, said that when the smell of the ointment filled the subway car, they asked the man, "Is that pain relief ointment?" but received no answer. Summoning the courage, A told the man to "please stop," but again there was no response.

CARE stated, "We are collecting eyewitness reports to find the man's residence or location, and at the same time, we will file a police report and request an investigation. If you have seen him or know who he is, please report it to CARE. Let's find him so that this dog does not have to be dragged around alone and suffer any longer."
