Animal abuse in this movie

OK, I know there are other movies that have a lot more than this, but I thought it was really pathetic when Arnold took that little dog outside in the rain to give his partner his wife's purse to bug, and on the way across the street, he was kicking the dog to make it move faster.

Here's this giant of a man with a tiny little dog at the end of a leash, and the man is abusing a poor little dog. Why didn't he just pick up the dog and carry it?

What a putz!

For as loving, loyal, fun and just generally awesome as dogs are, they're dumb as f^ck. They're just as happy to walk around all day smelling everything, but humans don't have time for that $hit, so you use various methods to get things moving. Anyone who has ever walked a dog on a leash has tugged on it, and nudged the dog with a foot to get them moving when necessary. It's not cruelty. It's practicality.
