Las Vegas, NV – On Tuesday afternoon, in the midst of the Las Vegas summer heat, six dogs were found dead in the back of U-Haul truck parked outside of the Mountain View Hospital. Police were initially called when a passerby saw a distressed dog locked in the U-Haul.
Responding police officers were able to break out a window and saved the dog, but six more deceased dogs were found in the back of the locked truck, reports Fox Vegas.
A burgundy SUV was parked nearby with two dogs and two cats inside; officers removed them from the vehicle and they were in good condition because the A/C had been left on inside of the car. The SUV is believed to be affiliated with the person in charge of the U-Haul truck.
The owner of the animals, identified as Christopher R. Winter, 53, was arrested and taken to jail. The surviving animals were taken to a local rescue group for care.
