Caretaker went out at 1am and returned home around 8pm and left them in the car. No chance she wasn’t loaded on some mind-altering substance. Know your limits, people.

Aww, this kind of heartbreaking news is why I don’t follow news at all nowadays. That poor dog.

I remember reading somewhere that Hollywood picked up on audiences' propensity to be more emotionally invested in the well-being of dogs, even if they're unnamed brand new characters and there are humans dying all around them.
