A couple in Florida recently decided to go for a beach day just south of Daytona Beach- nothing unusual for a fun summer activity. But something was absolutely out of the ordinary: this couple abandoned their dog in a burning hot car, parked directly in the sun, while they went off and amused themselves.

Thankfully, a passerby noticed the large brown dog panting in the passenger seat of the U-Haul truck the couple had been driving and called the police. When officers arrived, they discovered the dog baking in the sun coming through the truck’s windshield.

They reported it was about 86 degrees outside that day, meaning the inside of the vehicle was approximately 100 degrees — and the dog had already been there for an hour. Officers could hear the poor dog panting and struggling from the small crack left in the window, and they quickly poured water through to try to give them some relief.

Thankfully, the dog was safely taken from the truck and is now in the safety and care of a local society. But who knows what would have happened to this dog had they not been noticed in time.

Please sign this petition demanding a lifetime ban on living with animal companions for these two people!
