Video Shows People Pushing Dog Away from Flood Raft Amid Questions Over Authenticity
A viral video shows people pushing a black-and-white dog away from a flood raft, triggering outrage online. But a #HAPPYAPRILFOOLS frame has raised questions about the clip’s authenticity and context.
The clip, posted by Riya Ghosh, captures the black-and-white dog attempting to climb aboard a platform while surrounded by splashing water. The occupants of the platform push the dog away before moving on.
The footage has drawn deep anger from viewers, with comments questioning the treatment of the animal during what appears to be a disaster situation. Ajay Joe repeatedly commented, “I hate you,” while others posted pleas questioning humanity’s place on the planet.

I hate you
I hate you
Humanity died ! Humans don't deserve this planet. This dog was kicked , pushed and refused a safe passage from the flooded zone.
In the end they left without this dog. pic.twitter.com/zoeZswGc0F
However, the presence of a black frame displaying #HAPPYAPRILFOOLS in the images has raised doubts over whether the video accurately depicts the circumstances presented online.
The reactions have also included calls for greater empathy toward animals during disasters and for better stray welfare programs. The video’s circulation has therefore sparked both outrage over the treatment of the dog and questions about the authenticity and context of the footage.
The incident highlights the scrutiny surrounding viral disaster videos, particularly when their context or authenticity remains uncertain, while also prompting renewed calls for compassion toward animals caught in emergencies.
