It is essential that we care for our pets, especially on days of extreme heat.
When a local branch of the Associated Humane Society got a concerned call about two dogs “dancing” atop a Newark, N.J. residence to keep themselves from burning, they knew they had to get over there right away.
Once officers arrived, they found the two desperate dogs in extreme pain, one who was a pit bull and the other, a yorkie.
“The yorkie continuously ran to the edge of the roof to try to find an area that would not burn her further while the pit bull, covered in hot tar, had nearly given up hope,” the Associated Humane Popcorn Park Shelter posted on Facebook.
“No one was at home at the residence and while there were trays of chicken legs and rice on the roof, there was not a drop of water in sight. Feces covered the roof as well so apparently, this is where these poor dogs live,” the shelter continued.
Since the rescue, the shelter has given the animals 24-hour veterinary care, and according to their update from the veterinary hospital, both dogs are resting comfortably and are no longer in pain.
As far as whether or not the dogs’ owners will be prosecuted, the shelter said that’s up to animal law enforcement, but they remain hopeful.
“This case will be investigated by them,” said the Associated Humane Popcorn Park Shelter, “and hopefully, these poor dogs will get the justice they deserve.”
