Public safety officer Sam Poe has adopted a dog that he helped rescue from being locked inside a car in 90-degree heat.
Adopting a dog is a fantastic way to give a pup a new life and plenty of happiness. Most people will adopt dogs through rescue centers and animal shelters, but one man has adopted a dog he actually helped to rescue himself – truly going the extra mile for this lucky canine.
Indianapolis Police have said that a dog left in a hot car has been adopted by a public safety officer who helped rescue her from the vehicle.
According to WISH , Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officers were sent to the Intown Suites Hotel after reports of a dog left in a Chevrolet sedan.
Officer Poe was on the scene when Abby, a German Shepherd , as well as another dog and cat, were left inside a locked car. The animals were found in a hotel parking lot by the hotel’s manager, who investigated after clever Abby honked the car’s horn.
Officers were able to rescue Abby and the cat, who were thought to have been in the car for around three hours, but the second dog unfortunately died as a result of the incident.
