Man Rescues An Overheated Dog Left In A BMW

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, hundreds of dogs fall ill and die each year from heat exhaustion when left in cars on hot days. Recently, a man rescued an overheated dog from a hot BMW car by smashing the vehicle’s window. Temperatures across Ontario on June 11 approached 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and even with the windows cracked and the sunroof open, the dog was in obvious distress.

“When I heard the announcer over park loudspeakers calling for the owners to report to the parking lot to rescue their dog, I couldn’t believe it,”It was so hot” Costa told CTV.

After hearing the announcement, Costa and a few other festival attendees moved to the parking lot to see what was happening. They saw a small crowd surrounding a man attacking a BMW with a large rock. After twenty minutes of work, the man with the rock finally shattered the BMW’s passenger rear window and pulled the dog to safety. The owners didn’t show up for nearly an hour.

“The dog was completely soaked, the owners didn’t show up for another fifty minutes. I believe in another fifty minutes it could have been fatal.” said Costa.

The crowd gave water to dog and the man calmed down the distressed dog. The crowd called the police on the spot. When the owners finally arrived they were confused and felt embarrassed. There is no report yet of warnings issued or charges filed against the owners.
