Harrowing footage has emerged showing a dog owner killing a stray dog with a brick at a residential complex in Beijing, China.
The man, who can be seen walking two dark-coloured dogs, came in from a gate and picked up a brick, throwing at a white dog, said to be a stray.
A female neighbour who filmed the footage said the white stray dog could not be saved after being taken to an animal hospital.

The female neighbour told Pear Video that she saw the incident took place at the ground floor near her house at Hujialou on January 20.
The man opened a gate and let his two dogs go inside. As soon as he saw a white dog waiting at a pole, he picked up a brick and throw towards it.
The white dog was hit in the head and collapsed instantly and the man left right away.
The two dogs sniffed the white dog and left the scene.

'The white dog is always a stray dog and it doesn't attack people,' the neighbour stated.
Sadly, it was too late to save the dog when it was sent to an animal hospital.
The place has now been cleaned up but web users who have watched the footage were infuriated by the man's cruel act.
'The dog did not do anything to him or the dogs, how could he be so cold-hearted?' commented 'weishi'.
'You don't have to hurt animals even if you don't like it' said 'xiangpai'.
