Reporting animal abuse?

I just had a very wild and upsetting experience- walking on an on-leash trail, an off leash bull terrier puppy charges at my dog (who’s reactive and on leash). No owner in site, I’m yelling for the owner to come get her dog (for what feels like minutes but was probably a solid 45-60 seconds) while trying to keep my dog from lunging back but the puppy’s all in his space trying to play and wagging his tail. She finally walks up and just says “sorry, the leash broke” but then connects the leash to his collar (??). Then as I walk away I’m looking back at her and she proceeds to KICK the dog in the ribs. I yell at her “hey! dont kick your fucking dog, it’s not his fault” she didn’t say anything else and just walks the opposite direction of me.

I got a couple of pictures but they aren’t very clear. Do I still call the spca or CRD about this? I don’t really have any specific info (dog name, her name address obviously).

Side note, I saw her earlier on my walk and she was pulling the dog pretty hard on the leash, so clearly not much training or patience (especially with a puppy).
