Dog dies in Ohio after owner allegedly left him in hot car as punishment
Article content A woman in Ohio left her dog in a hot car to die, allegedly as punishment for attacking one of her other dogs.
Article contentSandusky Police officers responded to the home of Mouheb Ashakih on Saturday evening around 7 p.m. after a neighbour called about a pitbull being locked in her car.
The neighbour told authorities he had seen Ashakih throw the dog, Chapo, in the backseat and close all the doors and windows.
He approached the car, saw that the dog was trying to escape, and told Ashakih to let the dog out because he was concerned for his safety, to which she allegedly replied, “I don’t care. I want him to die!,†according to the police report.
About 30 minutes went by before police arrived to rescue the dog, but they saw that Chapo “either passed out or deceased at the rear passenger side floorboard,†states the police report.
Article contentOfficers broke the rear window of the vehicle and attempted to revive the dog, but were unsuccessful.
The report notes that the temperature inside the car when the window was broken was “considerably more hot than the temperature outside,†which, at the time, was 27°C.
Ashakih allegedly told officers she put the dog inside the car because it attacked one of her other dogs, said police.
