Cobb County, GA – Two people have been arrested after leaving a caged dog in the bed of a truck for 10 hours in the scorching heat. The dog suffered burns on his paws from being in the heat, on a day that reached the 90s, with no respite from the sun.
Police arrested Ebony Newell and Reginald Weems for aggravated animal cruelty and booked them into Cobb County Jail.
As reported by Fox 5 Atlanta, police found the pair inside a room at a motel off Interstate 20. Surveillance video from the motel confirmed the dog had been suffering in the heat for approximately 10 hours.
By the time the situation was noticed, the dog was clearly in distress from the heat, and a lack of water. The dog was rescued from the truck bed and taken to Cobb County Animal Services for care.
The rescued dog is receiving treatment and care at the animal services facility.
According to the news agency, Weems is also facing drug possession charges and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

No mercy should be given to these abusers. Jail time for their deranged behavior and not allowed for animal ownership. They should also pay for medical and vet fees.
FRY THESE FUCKING ARSEHOLES!! IT’S ABOUT TIME WE STOP PUSSY-FOOTING AROUND WITH THESE MAGGOTS, AND START IMPOSING HUGE FINES AND PRISON SENTENCES. OTHERWISE IT WILL JUST KEEP HAPPENING.
ALSO; WHY IS THERE NO PETITION TO SIGN????
I wish we would pass laws that treated the garbage the same as they treated their victims, animal or human. that would teach some lessons.
These two losers need to experience the same treatment as they subjected that innocent dog to. I hope the pup finds someone worthy of being his forever person.
They ought to be made to spend sometime in a car on a 9o degree day to see how their dog felt.
As far as I’m concerned these pieces of fucking shit should have their spine removed and hung with it!!! Then put them in the public view so they can rot in the sun and have the maggots feast on their putrid flesh! They deserve death they don’t deserve jail or fines! execute the pieces of fucking shit!
put in jail for 6 years. high fines to pay for all care for the animal. never to own any animal for rest of life.
and tatoo his forehead with animal killer on his forehead
that vile piece of the usual animal abuers (black mix breeds ) must pay for this sadistic, horrific, crime.A danger to all animals and humans . lock it away .
Back mix breeds? What does that mean? It sounds racist and I am hoping that is not what you meant. Abusers come in all colors.
Why do such lowlives go on living? Wish I could hug that sweet looking dog and make everything wonderful. Such suffering should only happen to abusers.
