The police are not investigating the case and it is likely that Brooke will face animal abuse charges.
In the video above, the YouTuber says that she is going to prank Sphinx, her dog while using a cling wrap.
When the dog jumps into the frame, the YouTuber slaps him and shoves him on the ground.
The video also shows Brooke spitting on the Doberman.
The video sparked outrage amongst social media users after it went viral online.
One user said, “That sweet dog literally just wanted to play and kiss you, and you’re sitting there smacking him, and abusing him so you can use him for views on YouTube? Pathetic, I bet she only got a dog for YouTube content.”
The video was also shared by @KEEMSTAR and his tweet got over 101 thousand retweets and was viewed over 45 million times on Twitter.
The video also caught the attention of PETA, an animal rights organization.

She said, “I am not going to play the ‘victim card’ or anything of that sort, but I do want to point out that I am rarely as upset as what was shown in the footage,”
“The bubbly, happy-go-lucky Brooke that you often see in my videos is typically an accurate representation of me, but it’s obvious that I’m playing up my mood in this video when I’m clearly actually frustrated,” emphasizing that she is not trying to “justify” her behavior.”
“Should I have gotten as angry as I did in the video?” she continued. “No. Should I have raised my voice and yelled at him? No. However, when my 75 lb. Doberman is jumping in my face with his mouth open, I do, as a dog parent, have to show him that this behavior is unacceptable.”
“But I want to make it known, REGARDLESS of what my dog does, I should not have acted that way towards him,” she added. “I want to clarify that I am NOT a dog abuser or animal abuser in any way, shape or form.”
