If you love animals — and/or are just a sensible human being — get ready for your blood to boil.
A video posted to Reddit shows a TSA officer jerking his security dog’s leash violently inside the Detroit airport — at times lifting the canine’s feet off the ground and dragging the pup.
Redditor “ProfessionalEye3568” posted the video to the Delta subreddit and said it was filmed from a Delta Sky Club. The Redditor wrote:
I was shocked at how this airport handler is dragging this poor pup around. There’s no reason anyone should be flipping a working dog around by it’s harness like this?! I have a high energy dog so at first I assumed it was a mistake or that the puppy was a bit over energetic but looks like the handler is just being unnecessarily rough with it.
“ProfessionalEye3568” said the incident occurred on Sunday, May 7 at 11:30 AM inside DTW’s McNamara Terminal.

We contacted the TSA for comment and will update this post when/if they respond.
