A mall cop at the country’s largest retail chain was fired after he was accused of throwing a puppy off a footbridge.

A Facebook post that has gone viral said the guard from a private security service provider, identified by the Philippine Daily Inquirer as Jojo Malecdem, purportedly grabbed a puppy that two girls were playing with and tossed it off a nearly 5m-high footbridge on Tuesday.
