Police rescue dog from scorching hot car at Bostalsee!

Last Sunday there were tropical temperatures in the St. Wendel district, which were challenging even for people. However, things got pretty ugly for a little Maltese who had to endure the scorching heat in his owner's locked car. According to reports in the Saarbrücker Zeitung, the 36-year-old gentleman from Saarbrücken left his dog in an off-road vehicle during his visit to the swimming pool, with the windows only partially open.

At around 1:30 p.m., the North Saarland police station received the alarming news about the dog in distress. The owner did not respond to several announcements from the German Life Saving Society (DLRG) and the maritime administration, but the officials did not allow themselves to be deterred from taking action. The attempt to open the car through the slightly open windows failed. A police team then decided to break a window to free the poor four-legged friend.

Risk for the dog

Fortunately, once freed, the dog was found to be exhausted but uninjured. The high outside temperature makes it extremely dangerous for dogs left in a closed vehicle. The heat damage can quickly become dangerous, and dogs are sensitive to the extreme temperatures inside a car.

The owner could be found in the swimming pool, although dogs are not allowed there. He stated that he had thought that his dog was not in danger during that short period of time. After an hour and thirty minutes, the animal was finally returned, but an investigation was opened for violation of the Animal Welfare Act. The responsible authorities are now also checking whether the man is considered a suitable dog owner.

Background and meaning of the dog

The dog, a faithful companion of humans, has its roots deep in human history. The word “dog” comes from the Middle High German “hunt” and is linked to the meaning of “bitch” or “male”. It can be found in different variations in many languages, such as “hond” in Dutch or “hound” in English. You can take one or two examples from this loyal companion, who not only acts as a pet, but also as a helper in many situations.

The situation at Bostalsee shows how important it is to protect animals in the heat. According to experts, it is crucial to respect the needs of dogs and co. and offer them a safe environment.

In today's world, when many people have a close bond with their pets, it is essential to take the responsibility of being an owner seriously. This way you can ensure the welfare of the animals and avoid mishaps like the one at Bostalsee. We hope that such incidents do not become an everyday occurrence.
