  • 15 States That Allow The Rescue Of Dogs Trapped in Cars

    These states permit authorities and civilians to take action and rescue a trapped dog. The news of the arrest of a man in Georgia who smashed a car window to rescue a dog inside has sparked many questions from citizens: Are people allowed to help a dog that is trapped inside a car on an extremely hot day? Are there laws protecting these dogs? Most especially, are there laws protecting those people? In California, a bill was recently passed granting civilians the right to use any means - which includes smashing a car window - to rescue dogs that are left inside hot vehicles.
