The owners were later found inside the courthouse and admitted to leaving the dog in the vehicle. They were later charged with animal cruelty.

The department shared the story on social media, hoping that it will serve as an urgent reminder to people of how hot their cars can get. “If it isn’t good enough for you, it’s not good enough for a pet or child,” the Pinellas Sheriff’s Office wrote. “Cracking a window doesn’t help much at all so don’t consider that to be an option. Just don’t do it.”

“Thankfully this pup turned out ok but there are way too many situations where that isn’t the case.”

Indeed, there have been many similar cases just this summer that ended in tragedy. A puppy died after an owner left her four dogs in the car while she dined at Disney Springs, and earlier this month a police K9 died after the air conditioning in a patrol car malfunctioned.

Hot car deaths are tragically common, and we all need to do what we can to prevent them. Thank you to the officers who intervened and saved this poor suffering pup!
