Old Dog Attack Video From Morocco Passed Off As Kashmir

Viral post claims that an army dog attacked and mauled stone pelters in Kashmir. The original video is from Morocco and was recorded in 2013

An old video from Morocco showing two dogs attack a man who hurled bricks at them is being shared online as stone pelters in Kashmir attacked by a canine belonging to the Indian Army.

The dramatic footage captured from a building shows a man in a yellow jacket walk his two dogs across a street when suddenly a man wearing only red trousers hurls a series of bricks at the dogs. The two dogs then chase and pin down the man in the red trousers as the man in the yellow jacket tries to set him free from their grip.

The Hindi caption accompanying the video claims, "Kashmiri stone pelters throw stones at army dogs...the dog did not wait for government orders and did what it felt was best. "

(Hindi: पत्थर फेकने वाले कश्मीरी युवक ने सेना के कुत्ते पर पत्थर फेंका....कुत्ते ने सरकार के ऑर्डर का इंतजार नही किया उसने वो किया जो सही था |)
