They then rushed to get out the poor dog, who was by this time very panicked and distressed, immediately fetching water to refresh the dog and put an end to her suffering. Unsurprisingly, the animal went straight for the bowl of water and emptied it in just a few seconds.The police officers quickly noticed she was a female with no microchip. So she was taken into the care of the local ASPCA equivalent, theSociedad Protectorat de Animales del Medio Vinalopó. The owner of the car will face charges for animal cruelty.
