LAKE STATION, Ind. (CBS) — Dozens of people came out Thursday night in Lake Station, Indiana, for a vigil to pay tribute to at least eight dogs that died in the back of a hot truck.
The German shepherds were being transported to O’Hare International Airport to Michigan City, Indiana, for training for police work this past Friday – when the box truck’s air conditioning malfunctioned.
The driver pulled over at a gas station when he heard the dogs barking, and rescuers tried to revive the dogs.
A total of 19 dogs were in the truck.
