A dog had to stay in a parked car in front of a shopping center in Lower Austria at the weekend in hot 29 degree temperatures. Concerned passers-by alerted the emergency services.

On Saturday, passers-by in Ebreichsdorf in the district of Baden raised the alarm at a summery 29 degrees because they noticed a dog in a parked vehicle in front of the parking lot of a shopping center. At least the side windows of the driver and passenger doors of the car were slightly open.

Nevertheless, the four-legged friend made an impaired impression. The concerned passers-by set off in search of the driver - unfortunately without success. They finally alerted the police, who also called the fire department for assistance.

"When we arrived at the scene, the police had already opened the vehicle through the side windows. We then climbed into the car, opened the trunk from the inside and brought the dog outside," explains Commander Michael Ditzer from the Ebreichsdorf fire department.

Shortly after the rescue, the owner of the vehicle also turned up and had to undergo questioning by the police.
