DEDHAM, Mass. — A 5-month-old husky was left in a 100-degree car at Legacy Place in Dedham yesterday.
According to Dedham Animal Control, the owners were shopping.
“Balancing compassion fatigue with intense infuriation is a heavy emotional reality for us, but we will keep championing for these pets for as long as they need us,” they said.
Dedham Animal Control also thanked Legacy Place Security for notifying them of the puppy.
A heat advisory remains in effect for much of New England until 8 p.m. tomorrow.
