A freezing dog has been found abandoned in the boot of a car overnight after a driver smashed into the parked vehicle. The poor canine was found in a parked vehicle in Dulverton, Birmingham, after another man crashed into the back of the car. West Midlands Fire Service was called to the scene at 5.56am today (January 11) following the crash, which uncovered a dog left abandoned in icy conditions.
The dog was discovered by firefighters locked in the boot of a dark coloured Volkswagen Passat. Aston Fire Station posted on Twitter/X later in the day to confirm the dog had been left in the vehicle through the night in sub-zero temperatures. Photographs published by the fire station showed damage to the boot and a dog kennel in the back of the car.
Officers have since taken the dog into their care, with members of the West Midlands Police force pictured leading the brown coloured dog into the side of a van using dog catcher poles. Aston Fire Station said that a brigade response vehicle (BRV) was sent to the scene.
The fire station, in a post to Twitter/X, wrote: "BRV attended an RTC where a car hit a parked vehicle. A dog was found locked in the boot, silent through the night in freezing temperatures.". "Crews rescued her, and she'll be cared for by police for the night. Please don’t leave animals in extreme cold, and drive carefully!" It is not yet clear what happened to the driver or why the dog had been left in the boot of the car in freezing temperatures.
