Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers rescued a mother dog and its puppy trapped in a car for a long time without any water in the hot summer weather.

Even though the car was in a covered car park, the temperatures were still sweltering in the confined space.

The security team at the parking garage in Las Vegas noticed the mother dog and a puppy in distress in the back seat of a parked vehicle in New Mexico on 9th July.

Weather data indicates that on that day, temperatures reached 96 Fahrenheit, which is 36 degrees centigrade.

The observer called the authorities to help the animals, and when officers arrived, they realised that the two pets were struggling for breath and panting inside the car in which the air conditioner was turned off.

Cops then smashed the front window and recovered the mother dog and puppy.

According to the footage, the rescued dogs can be seen tired, confused, and panting although the sunroof and rear windows have been left slightly ajar.

Both dogs were put in the officers’ patrol car and transported to a safe place to receive the necessary care.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police warned: ” Do not leave pets in the heat.”

According to the police, no arrests have been made.

The name of the careless owner and the consequences were not disclosed when sharing the video.

Las Vegas Police stated that the investigation is ongoing.
