Dog Is Locked In Hot Car Until Cop Shows Up

In Danger

The summer heat became unbearable at midday when New York neighborhood residents took notice of a dog locked in a car. They stood by the car and waited for the owner to arrive but had no such luck.

They had to save the dog and resorted to calling the police. They had to act quickly when the officers showed up. They knew the animal’s life was at risk.

Her Chosen Career

Aruna Maharaj had lived alone for over six months, focusing on her herself and her healing after she broke up with her long-term boyfriend.

As an officer of the NYPD 19th Precinct, she chose a career that required her to put her life on the line daily. As fulfilling as she found it, some cases left their mark, and she struggled to recover from them.

Trapped Dog

It was a day in June when residents residing near 88th Street near Third Avenue saw that a dog had been locked inside a parked car. They saw it alone and hoped the owner would be back soon.

Their hope turned into despair when they realized no one was coming for the dog. It was up to them to do something.

Two Long Hours

They gathered around the vehicle and thought about what they could do to free the dog locked inside.

They realized that no one was coming for the dog after they had been waiting for two long hours. They felt compelled to do something and so called the emergency services hoping they would make it on time.

Despatched

Officer Aruna Maharaj of NYPD 19th Precinct was the one to be dispatched when they received the call. She had been nearby the area.

She drove to the location with her partner, hoping they wouldn’t be too late. They were speechless when they laid eyes on the situation.
