A small dog was pulled from a hot car in Grand Bend Saturday afternoon after a man used a rock to smash the vehicle's window.
A Kitchener man who witnessed the events unfolding said the dog was in rough shape when it was rescued from the car around 6:30 p.m.
"The dog was completely soaked. The owners didn't show up for another 50 minutes. I believe in another 50 minutes it could have been fatal," said Will Costa.
Witnesses say a couple in their 20s, presumed to be the owners, were asked by police to attend the police station.
The Grand Bend OPP detachment could not confirm if charges were laid or a warning was given.
Waterloo Regional Police say if you come across a pet left in a vehicle, you should call police.
Depending on the situation, anyone who breaks into a vehicle could also be charged.
