An Amazon driver was accused of animal abuse after footage of him throwing packages over a fence and hitting a dog went viral.
The recipient of the packages, Dana Jernigan, posted a video on TikTok on April 10, and it has been viewed over a million times since.
“Amazon driver intentionally throws packages onto my sweet dog," read the video's caption.
It is the only clip on the TikTok account, which you can see here.
In the viral clip, a person wearing a vest appearing to be a driver for the delivery service walks up to the fence as a dog runs up to meet him at the gate.

The man throws a number of packages in the direction where the dog stops, and they all land on its head before touching the ground.

In the comments, the TikToker had a message for viewers:
"This act causes animals to become aggressive! If eaten it could’ve been fatal! This is for awareness, install security cameras for your own protection!"
They also added their dog "was properly fenced and with locked gates! Driver just didn’t care to read instructions!"
Furious TikTokers slammed the driver for intentionally trying to hurt the animal, and they called for his termination.
