A worker in Bristol is forced to smash a car window to save three trapped dogs on the hottest day of the year

The dogs were left in the back seat of the car on Thursday with all windows closed under the 27 degree heat. The dogs were reportedly left for 2 hours in an unventilated car. .

A person who left a message on the car windshield said, “The dogs die in hot cars! You have been reported to the police. ”

The policeman who arrived at the scene planned to wait until the car owners returned with an expired parking ticket.

However, a worker from Britol Waste decided to take action, he used a hammer to smash the driver's window and unlock the door, before 1pm.

When the dogs went out, a pedestrian gave them a bowl of water

Lisa Eastman, a colleague of the worker, said, “I stopped by the side of the road to do my work. When I stopped, the back door opened, and I asked if the dogs will be okay? ”

“He said the store doesn't allow dogs and he gave them some water. They have been there since 10:40 am. ”

When the car owner returned, he had an angry exchange with the bystanders. A woman accompanying him declared the dogs lying on a bandage
