Dog owners, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOGS IN THE CAR! Even if you leave the window cracked, it is WAY too hot out for that foolishness!!
Police bodycam shows officers smashing a car window to rescue a dog that was left in the locked car. The window was cracked a bit, but that didn't stop the dog from overheating. When officers arrived, the dog had collapsed from the heat. After getting the dog out, the officers rushed the poor dog to an emergency vet, where its temp was 102. (Watch the video below)
According to the police:
A distressed dog was rescued from a sweltering hot car by police officers who were forced to smash the vehicle’s window. Officers were called after the dehydrated animal was spotted at the Wilkinson Street park and ride site, off Nottingham’s ring road, on Monday afternoon. The small black Shih Tzu was barking and panting inside a locked car. The windows were left slightly open but it was not enough to prevent the dog collapsing.
