Nashville, TN – The intense heat of summer has arrived to much of the nation and neglected pets are paying the price. In Nashville, a dog left on an apartment balcony died from heatstroke on Saturday after being left in the intense heat, without any protection from the sun.
As reported by WKRN News, the dog’s owners, Dearick Pinkston and Lakendra Moore, are facing aggravated animal cruelty charges. The authorities said that the dog who died did not have any access to shade or water and had tried to chew through the balcony railing in a failed attempt to escape.
The couple each have a $10,000 bond; they are expected to appear in court on Tuesday.
It should go without saying, do not leave your pets outside during periods of extreme heat. If it is too hot for you, it is too hot for your pet. Always provide cold, fresh water and shade, and never tether a dog outside in the heat.
Thanks for reading. We appreciate you!

WHY THE FVCK DO PEOPLE GET ANIMALS JUST TO HAVE THEM BE LAWN DECORATIONS AND BALCONY ORNAMENTS?!?!?!?! FVCKING GHETTO-ASS TRASH.
How stupid can you be!!. They should lock you out on the balconey. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know if it’s too hot for you, then it’s too hot for them duh!!!!!

Come on people -let’s just kill these animal abusers !!!!!
It is not anything the Klan couldn’t take care of.
People know better than to leave animals outside in the heat!!! They know better and yet they still do it. What a barbaric and terrifying way to die!! Jail, then mandatory weekly counseling when on probation, never to own/care for/live or work with animals again. There should be a Nationwide animal abuse registry. People like this are not fit to care for children either!!
Dearick Pinkston and Lakendra Moore are evil black demons and they must pay!!! Make them suffer in the same way!!!! These cruel bastards belong in hell!!!
Kira and Randall are both fucking right! They deserve nothing but torture and death ! They had to see that poor pup fighting for his life in that heat and hot sun! Put them into a burning incinerator
HOW MANY TIMES ARE SCUM LIKE THESE TWO GOING TO GET AWAY WITH NEGLECT, ABUSE, TORTURE, ABANDONMENT ETC. OF INNOCENT DOGS. THIS IS ENOUGH ALREADY. WHAT SORT OF FUCKWIT PUTS A DOG IN THE BLAZING SUMMER SUN WITH NO FUCKING WATER AND NO SHELTER. FFS !
I am so fed up, and so angry that so many innocent dogs are losing their lives because of irresponsible fuckwits. Put this Human Filth in prison. START MAKING EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE CHARGED WITH ANIMAL CRUELTY, SO WE MIGHT HAVE HALF A CHANCE OF STAMPING IT OUT.
These monsters deserve to die the same way. They aren’t worth the time of the legal system. Bless that innocent pup who sadly crossed paths in life with scum like this.
