A man in Swindon, Wiltshire, broke the car window when he passed the vehicle and saw a dog inside. He then lifted the dog out of the car. The animal was later given to police officers who reunited the animal with its owner when he returned to his vehicle. The police said the rescuer was missing and would not face any punishment for his actions.
The police issued the dog owner with a formal warning over the incident. The police were alerted to the incident at about 10 a.m. on Monday after receiving reports that a 14-week-old dog was in distress. It was reported that the owner had left the dog inside his blue Mercedes-Benz car while he went to do some shopping. After the car’s window had been smashed, officers waited with the dog until the owner returned.
Inspector Steph Daly, of Wiltshire Police, said, "People just don’t think it’s going to happen to them. They think, ‘Oh I’ll be all right, I’m only going to be five minutes’, but with what’s going on in the world at the moment, we have to queue for the supermarkets. You know your trip is going to take longer. People are animal lovers, and if they see something they’re not happy with, they’ll take action.”
At the end of the day, the police advised people not to leave their dog in the car full stop. It might be 20 degrees outside, but it could be up to 38 to 40 degrees inside the car, which is fatal to dogs. A spokeswoman for Wiltshire Police confirmed that officers attended the scene.
