Police were forced to smash a car window to rescue a dog from scorching 115F (46C) temperatures in Sarasota, Florida.
Officers were called to a car park on University Parkway on Tuesday following reports of a dog locked inside a car.
A dog, appearing faint, was found inside with no trace of its owner. According to police, the temperature inside was 115F (46C).
Matthew Grochowski, an officer for the Sarasota Police Department, was filmed smashing the window of the car in body camera footage of the incident, shared to Facebook on Friday.
“It’s panting and and drooling all over the place”, the officer says in the footage.
“Oh my god he’s starting to go down, that’s not good,” another officer, from the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services, adds.
With the backing of Sgt Louis Buck, the officer was filmed striking a back window of the car, and smashed it on the third try, with glass falling to the floor.
“It’s OK buddy,” the officer tells the dog, which appeared to be a form of pit bull. “Come on, good boy.”
The dog was taken from the back of the car, and into an awaiting kennel by Sarasota animal services.
Following the incident, the Sarasota Police Department issued a warning for dog owners not to lock animals inside cars.
“Please don’t leave pets in hot cars,” said the post, “[and] always remember to look before you lock for pets, children and elderly loved ones.”
The owner of the dog was issued with two citations by Animal Services, who returned the dog.
Man giving his DOG a lesson in DRUNK DRIVING is the funniest ever!
The man, who in probability was drunk, can be seen trying to convince his dog not to drive while the latter can be sitting with a grim expression on the driver’s seat, visibly displeased.
A true friend will tell you when you’ve had enough to drink, and this man did not hold back when he taught his dog about the dangers of driving under the influence.
This man, who in all probability was drunk, gave his dog the tough talk on the rules of driving.
He tries to convince his pet not to drive in that condition, while the canine can be seen sitting with a grim expression in the driver’s seat – priceless!
We’re not sure who is funnier, Major or the man giving him a lesson, but this is incredible!
