A devastated onlooker captured the moment a dog owner abandoned their pet in Long Beach, California, throwing the Bull Terrier mix out of their Lexus as they drove away.
A food delivery driver behind the black sedan with no tags recorded the heart-wrenching scene as the dog hopelessly chased after his owner as they sped off.
In the video, the delivery driver is heard saying: 'The owner is literally leaving him… look! Oh my God.'
Destiny Gomez, 24, a woman who finds homes for stray pets saw the video and messaged the delivery driver.
'When I watched that video, it broke my heart. I could not stop crying. I could not keep the dog out of my mind,' Gomez told NBC Los Angeles in an interview from her car.
Based on the video, it appears the dog trying keeping up with the owner's car down multiple different streets in the area where he was left.
Destiny Gomez posted this video to her Instagram to appeal to dog lovers in the area and possibly help find the abandoned pooch

After posting the video to Instagram to appeal to her vast network of dog loving followers, she got a tip telling her where the dog might be.
'We also got coordinates of streets like where someone saw him, so they were like, "Can you go there?''' Gomez told NBC Los Angeles in an interview from her car.
The hints from the amateur canine sleuths following Gomez's Instagram led Gomez's boyfriend right to the neighborhood where the dog was dumped. Hours later, he found him safe and sound.
After making sure the dog was safe, fed and groomed, Gomez renamed him Chico and found him a foster parent in nearby Palos Verdes.
Now Gomez is trying to find Chico a 'forever home.'
'People have been DM'ing me saying that they want him and they can pick him up today but I really want to go through a rescue first,' Gomez said.
