A resilient German shepherd trapped in a hot car notified passersby about her plight by honking the car horn. After the distressed dog was rescued, an officer on the scene gave the canine a second chance at life.
On June 20, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) received a report that two dogs (a pitbull and a German shepherd) and a cat were left inside a car with no air conditioning and with the windows only about half an inch down. They were there for almost three hours with outside temperatures of over 90 degrees.
