Shared on Facebook by Zoey Thornton, the video shows a few people gathered around a black car. Within moments, a man smashes one of the windows of the car and leans inside. He then carefully reaches inside to give some water to the dog in something which seems like a hard hat. Eventually the man climbs inside the car and the first thing he does is pet the furry animal. He then opens the front door where a woman, standing outside, takes the doggo out and gives it water to drink. A few others then join her to pet the dog.
In the caption, Thornton detailed what led to the incident. “Who in their right mind leaves a dog in a hot car while they go shopping is beyond me. The sun really does bring out the stupidity in some people,” she angrily wrote. Thornton then added that “the dog had been in the car for at least half an hour before actions were taken to get the dog out.” She ended her post by thanking those who helped the dog to get our safely.
