An overheated dog was found on Friday evening in a firebreak on Plataanstraat in Breda. The animal was in bad condition and had to be rushed to the animal hospital.
Local residents immediately came to help. They took the dog to a cool home and tried to cool the animal while they waited for the police. When officers arrived at the dog, it turned out that the animal needed medical attention quickly.
The police rushed the dog to an animal hospital in Waalwijk.
Who is the owner?
Who the owner is remains a mystery for now. The dog appears not to be chipped. The police are calling on people who know who owns the animal to come forward. It concerns a dog that was found in the Tuinzigt area.
On Friday afternoon, the police in Tilburg also had to take action for a dog that was in a sweltering car. Officers smashed a window to free the animal. The police warn owners to pay extra attention to their animals during hot days and never leave them in a car.
