A viral video taken at Pisgah High School in early October showed a dog being dragged on a leash during a pep rally, prompting concern online and a review by Haywood County Schools and local authorities.
The video was taken at the school’s pep rally in Canton ahead of the Pisgah versus Tuscola High School football game on Oct. 10. It shows a county school employee dragging a dog on a leash during a skit. Attendees can be heard in the video saying, "let the dog go." The video has amassed hundreds of thousands of views on social media platform TikTok, with commenters alleging misconduct by the employee.
