Animal rights activists and compassionate humans were happy to hear that a dog which was thrown from a roof in India has been found alive.

In a horrifying slow-motion clip that has since gone viral, a man who was later identified as Gautam S, a student at Tamil Nadu's Madha Medical College, throws the small dog off of a roof terrace in the southern city of Chennai.

Initially, the dog was believed to be dead. However, Karthik Dhandapani, the animal rights activist who brought attention to the cruel act, posted an update to Twitter claiming that the dog was alive.

Additionally, Shravan Krishnan also posted a photo of the dog, confirming that she was alive, but unable to walk due to injuries sustained in the fall.

Krishnan reassured his followers that the dog was currently receiving medical attention for her injuries, but the most upsetting part in finding her was that the dog was still wagging her tail.

"What breaks my heart is that she was still wagging her tail," Krishnan wrote on Facebook.

Good news - The dog has been found alive. She is not able to walk properly. She is with us now. Will be under treatment....
