Trapped dog doing well after rescue

Floss the huntaway cross dog is lapping up plenty of affection and water after being rescued her from a locked car in south Auckland on Christmas Day.

The dog was spotted in the locked Ford Fairmont car in Otahuhu by a member of the public on Christmas Eve.

The windows were slightly ajar and the man thought nothing more of it until he went back on Christmas Day and found the dog still in the car, with the temperature rising to dangerously high levels.

Horrified Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) staff broke into the car to rescue the distressed dog and give it water.

They also gave her a new name, Floss, as they tried to find her owner.

Floss was trying to crawl under the front seat to get out of the heat when she was rescued, with the temperature inside the car well over 40 degrees, SPCA inspector Vicki Border told the New Zealand Herald. MORE>>
