Happy dog grooming.

A video of a staff member abusing a dog at Happy Dog Grooming, in Dianella, Perth has gone viral this week.

In the video, the woman swears at and smacks a dog so hard it echoes.

There have always been bad reviews online for this groomer, and my friend has personally had a bad experience. When my friend went to pick her dog up, he bolted for the door, was whimpering and bleeding.

If you’d like to see the video, just search “happy dog grooming Perth” on YouTube. It’s the first video.

My questions are:

Should the woman be charged?

If you were caring for someone’s dog, and you were told to smack them for misbehaving, what would you do?
