A postie in the UK has been filmed allegedly kicking a pet dog across the floor while delivering parcels.
Distressing footage captured by a doorbell camera in Greater Manchester shows a Royal Mail postal worker handing over several parcels before a pet dog barks and runs towards him.
The postman then appears to kick the dog across the driveway and the pet appears to tumble onto a front lawn before the worker walks away.
Manchester Evening News reports the door had been answered by a teenage girl who was heartbroken by the incident.

Her mother told the publication her daughter had been in tears and, since the inciden, the dog has started urinating when the doorbell rings.
The woman says she made a complaint to Royal Mail and has reportedly received a written apology from the company.
“We wish to again express our regret and offer our apologies once more for the upset, especially to your young daughter,” the letter read.
“Royal Mail staff are family people, with cats, dogs and other pets and we fully appreciate what a huge part of a home they are.”
However, the company also pointed out dozens of its staff were attacked by dogs each week.
The company says it also has a policy for posties to take parcels to the office if pets start attempting to defend their property or family.
In further comments to MEN, Royal Mail reportedly said it took all dog attacks on its staff “seriously” and its “first priority” was the safety and welfare of its employees.
