Caught on camera: NYPD officers rescue dog left in hot car on the Upper East Side
NEW YORK -- NYPD officers came to the rescue of a dog left in a hot car Friday.
Video shows police breaking windows to save the pup.
Yesterday’s afternoon temps hovered in the mid 80’s & on an 85° day, it only takes 10 mins for the inside of a car to reach a deadly 102°!
