ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (Gray News) – A sheriff’s deputy broke a car window to save a dog that was locked inside.
On April 6, St. John’s County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call about a dog that was locked inside of a car in the parking lot of a Home Depot.
Deputy Parker arrived and found the dog in distress, according to the sheriff’s office. The car was not running, the doors were locked and the windows were up.
According to witnesses, the dog had been left inside of the car for at least 15 minutes and because of the hot temperature, Parker broke the side window to safely remove the dog from the car.
The high temperature that day was 82 degrees which means the temperature inside of the car could have reached over 100 degrees.
The sheriff’s office wants to remind people to never leave children or animals inside vehicles during extreme temperatures and that cracking a window does not cool the inside of a car.
