Sad news out of Disney Springs last weekend. On Saturday, May 4, four Bernedoodle puppies were left in a hot car at Disney Springs. After the puppies were rescued, one succumbed to its injuries.

The owner had recently purchased the puppies and stopped by Disney Springs to have dinner on their way home. They assumed “the covered parking garage and cracking a window would be okay for the dogs.” After an hour and a half a security guard in the parking garage noticed the puppies were in distress and contacted authorities.
One of the puppies was unresponsive despite intervention by paramedics and a local veterinary clinic, and was later euthanized due to its injuries. The other three puppies were adopted by staff at the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Fire Department.
“Every summer we deal with cases like this, where someone runs into a store, the mall, or similar venue and opts to leave their pet in the car, assuming it’ll be a short trip,” Orange County Animal Services Division Manager Diane Summers said in a statement. “It’s heartbreaking and infuriating for our staff and animal-loving community when pet owners make this mistake as preventable tragedy can and does occur.”
This case has been turned over to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
