Distressing surveillance camera footage captured the moment a confused golden retriever wagged its tail as its Tesla-driving owner dumped it in a park. The dog was abandoned at Vancouver Park just north of Portland, Oregon earlier this month.

Footage obtained by KOIN showed the pets female owner pull into a parking spot in her gray Tesla Model 3 which retails for a minimum $37,500. She gets out of the luxury electric car and opens the back door to let her dog out.

The animal wags its tail and looks at its owner in anticipation a walk around the beauty spot.

She then tricks the dog into thinking they are doing just that and walks it towards a wooded area, then dashes back to the car before the dog can follow her, and drives off without it.

Thankfully, the dog was rescued and is now being cared for by I Pawd It Forward animal shelter in Portland. The animal will be put up for adoption once shelter staff have confirmed it had not been stolen from anyone else who was looking for it.

Clark County Sheriffs Office is investigating the act of abandonment, and have appealed for anyone who recognizes the dog dumper to contact them.
