Warren, Ohio – The heatwave impacting large swaths of the nation is taking a deadly toll, especially for those unable to escape the heat. This week, a chained dog, provided with no shelter from the sun, perished as the temperature climbed near the century mark in Warren, Ohio.
The Healthy Hearts and Paws Project’s Humane Division, alongside Animal Control for the City of Warren, OH, and the Trumbull County Sheriff Department responded to a residence on Central Parkway SE after learning of a chained dog who was pacing and in distress. By the time that help arrived, the dog was on the ground and unresponsive.
The Healthy Hearts and Paws Project said, “the dog’s internal temperature at the time was OVER 109 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT!” Adding, “The dog had no access to shelter, shade or water and was deemed deceased at the scene.”
An investigation is underway and criminal charges ARE expected.
Keep dogs cool by providing plenty of fresh water and shade, limit exercise during the hottest parts of the day, and never leave them in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes. Dogs with heatstroke may exhibit excessive panting, drooling, bright red gums, vomiting, weakness, confusion, collapse, or seizures, and require immediate veterinary care.

how is it these people have animals in their supposed care when they don’t care about them??? what is the point in having a pet if you have NO intention to care for them?? moronic imbecile who deserves the book thrown at them. perhaps this moron can stay out in the heat all day with no shade or water? douchebag.
This is BEYOND HEARTBREAKING!! THIS IS CALLED MURDER! This poor pup was left outside, no shade, no water, no food iñ EXTREME HEAT!!! WTF IS wrong with that POS so called owner???!!! AN EYE FOR AN EYE PUNISHMENT! LOCK THIS SO CALLED OWNER TO A CHAIN OUTSIDE IN THE SUN, WITH NO WATER, FOOD OR SHADED AREA AND LEAVE HIM THERE UNTIL HE DIES JUST LIKE HE DID TO THIS PUP!!!!!!! NO MERCY!!!!!!
AMEN!
ANIMALS DESERVE BETTER. FOOD, WATER, SHELTER. THE 3 BASIC NEEDS EVERY LIVING THING NEEDS.
The owner of that poor precious dog must pay!!! Hang that cruel dirtbag and burn him/her down!!!!
What is wrong with this stupid idiot? He was probably all comfortable in his air conditioned house while his dog was roasting to death! He deserves the same treatment!!
If it were up to me Plevyak would be dead
Enough of the slap on the wrist , when it comes to animals.
He is a torturer and murderer- he should be in jail for life!!!!!
No excuse for these crimes to continue -AMERICA HAS BLOOD ON ITS HANDS!!!!
WHERE ARE THE CHARGES FOR THE DEMONIC, SELFISH, PIECE OF SHIT OWNER!!!!
👍
Stake it out in the Mojave Desert … leave it to cook … and let the Vultures have it for dinner … then again i wouldn’t think Vultures eat shit !!!
Put a stop to animal cruelty, already!!! This POS needs to suffer as this chained up dog did! Why did it take authorities forever to respond?! He was left in the HEAT! Chained!! This disgusting, human needs to suffer, his life isn’t more valuable than a living animal! This dog cooked slowly in the HEAT, and the POS allowed it. Laws in Ohio need to change to protect animals!!! Prosecute him so he dies in prison!!
👍 👏👏👏
Isn’t this awful owner, James Plevyak of Warren, OH, going to be fully punished?!?! There is absolutely NO EXCUSE.
James Plevyak of Warren, OH need to be sent to jail and no bond. Then chain him up to a fence with no water or shade in the heat and let’s see how long he lasts!!! JAIL time for that bastard!!!
Amen! We need to change our weak ass stupid laws concerning animals.
He should get 15 years.
The individual responsible for neglecting that poor dog to the point of his death needs to be held accountable for his actions. A just punishment would be to do the same to him/her so they can feel the same pain and anguish that this poor, innocent dog felt!
Break the damn chains already!
Break the damn chains already!
Bless that innocent pup who deserved to know a home of love and compassion rather than being chained by a heartless monster. Whomever is responsible deserves to be chained and put out in the heat without food and water until they die so they know how it feels.
Put this piece of filth outside in the heat with NO SHELTER OR WATER until he perishes like the dog did. We have so damn many pieces of filth in our cities that need to be culled immediately. This asinine moron is definitely one of them.
OMG, this dog SUFFERED HORRIFICALLY!!! The dog’s body temperature was too high to measure because the thermometer was only able to record up to 109 degrees!!!
Here is this piece of shit’s name , DISGUSTING FACE and article link:
James Plevyak of Warren was charged after Jason Cooke of the Healthy Hearts and Paws Project said a dog was found in Plevyak’s yard on Central Parkway SE

Are some owners getting crueller or just more stupid? Dreadful!
Are some owners getting crueller or just more stupid? Dreadful!
Horrific
Same to whoever is responsible.
The cruel moron who left that dog out in the sun should suffer the same the treatment! Let the punishment fit the crime! The guilty person was probably inside in the A/C have a nice cold drink…..oh year, he or she were ‘all set.’ They did not care about that dog at all!! Jail and a felony charge are warranted here!
Make it a NATIONAL USA LAW THAT ALL ANIMALS CAN NEVER BE TIED UP EVER AGAIN !! IF YOU CANT AFFORD A FENCE THEN YOU CAN NOT OWN A DOG IF YOU DONT ALLOW IT IN THE HOUSE !!!
Agree
Prosecute and ban future animal possession
WTF is wrong with people! That owner needs to be chained in heat till he/she dies too!
