According to SAYS, the dog’s mouth was tied at the time. The dog took several seconds before realising that its body was on fire.
It proceeded to run around the field, and can also be heard whining in pain.
As the poodle reached the middle of the field, it started running in circles before rolling on the ground.

When the dog stopped moving, the person behind the camera approached it and waited for the fire to die down.
Not long after, the injured canine got back on its feet and ran towards what appeared to be a bridge.
As it rests near the edge of the bridge, the perpetrator kicks it off.
