Two dogs died in a hot car in a parking lot in the Hanover region. The cause of death is probably overheating, the police said on Tuesday. The evaluation of video recordings should help in the clarification. The 66-year-old dog owner is being investigated for violating the Animal Welfare Act.
Last Friday, the woman left the dogs – a Doberman and a Chihuahua – in her locked car in the parking lot in Isernhagen when the outside temperature was 32 degrees while she did her shopping. When she returned to the car, the Doberman was already dead. The Chihuahua was taken to the Hanover University of Veterinary Medicine, but also died shortly afterwards. A passer-by alerted the police.
