Deputies rescued a small dog left in a vehicle on a hot day in Florida.

The Pinellas Sheriff’s Office recently shared a video of the Aug. 2 rescue on Instagram, along with a message cautioning people not to leave their pets or children in a parked and locked car.

The body cam video shows authorities breaking the window of an SUV after they were notified by a concerned citizen of a small pup being inside. The vehicle with the dog was left parked with its air conditioning off in the outdoor parking lot of a courthouse.

Authorities said the vehicle was also locked, and the windows were rolled up when the rescue occurred. Deputies found the dog inside the car “heavily panting and in obvious distress,” they added.

The sheriff’s office noted that the dog was left in the car for “about 30-45 minutes” on an 88-degree summer day, meaning it was about 120 degrees inside the vehicle when deputies rescued the dog.

The Florida sheriff’s office included a stern warning to others in its Instagram post: “So if it isn’t good enough for you, it’s not good enough for a pet or child. Cracking a window doesn’t help much at all, so don’t consider that to be an option. Just don’t do it.”

The agency’s post added that the dog is currently in good health, noting that “there are way too many situations where that isn’t the case.”

In the video, the deputies carefully pull the pup from the vehicle’s backseat after breaking the SUV’s back window. The authorities then place the dog in a deputy’s car and give the pet water.

CBS reports that the owners of the dog were arrested for animal cruelty, and the canine was taken to local animal control.

According to The Humane Society of the United States, leaving a dog in a hot car can lead to “irreparable organ damage and even death” for the pet.

The nonprofit organization advises bystanders who spot a pet stuck in a hot car to call the local police or animal control and wait by the vehicle for them to arrive if the owners can not be located. They also note that leaving a dog in a car is dangerous even when it’s not extremely hot outside, stating that the temperature inside of a car can heat up to 116 degrees within an hour on a nice 72-degree day.

Earlier this summer, Houston’s Northwest Volunteer Fire Department rescued a dog in Texas after the pooch was left in a hot vehicle. The fire station detailed the rescue in a Facebook post with several photos of the dog.

“Heroes in Action!” the post read. “Our incredible firefighters rescued a furry friend from a dangerously hot, abandoned car. With temperatures soaring, every second counted.”

On the day of the rescue, temperatures reached a high of 92 degrees in Houston, per Weather.com.
