Moment scaffolder saves dog from car then confronts 'arrogant driver' who left two pets inside despite deadly 90F heatwave

This is the moment a woman is confronted by a scaffolder who berated her for leaving two dogs in her car as temperatures soared past 90f. 

Scaffolder Danny Cruttwell from Crawley, Sussex posted a video of two dogs stuck in a car parked in a car park of a supermarket.

Mr Cruttwell filmed what he was doing as evidence that the dogs were in distress. He gave a running commentary, and said the temperature according to his own car was 33c or 91f.

He said: ‘I was just doing my shopping.’ He pointed towards a car and continued, ‘there’s a little window open and a puppy inside, and a puppy inside. If I was a thief, I’d have had these. I checked the car door, and it opens. So, I’m going to get the little dog out.’

He petted the dog and gave it some water.

Warning to pet owners to not let their pooch overheat
This comes after a 'fit and healthy' five-year-old pooch died at the start of July in north-west England.

 RSPCA Altrincham Cheshire said: ‘This morning we were informed a local dog died of heat stroke after being taken on a walk at 9am when the temperature was 21 degrees.


‘The dog was otherwise fit and healthy.

‘Despite lots of warnings about the heat we still see dogs being walked to the shops, on the school run, or as soon as owners get in from work.

‘We do understand the crucial nature of walking your dog, however please bear in mind that walking in high temperatures can cause serious and irreversible damage, and in some cases death.

Mr Cruttwell asked the dog whether it was hot. He then asked a member of the public if they would get the dog some water. 

He continued: 'It’s a liberty. If the door wasn’t open I’d smash the window.’

A passer-by arrives with a bottle of water.

Mr Cruttwell, who posted the incident on Facebook, then went back to the car to get the puppy out.

‘Hey, that’s the woman from Jeremy Kyle. You can’t leave your dogs in a car like this.’

The woman claimed she was in the store for ‘two seconds’ - even though Mr Cruttwell had been filming for almost three minutes at that stage.

He said: ‘I’ve been in there and bought my stuff and this car was already here. You’re lucky I never smashed your window open. There’s a puppy in there. It’s 33 degrees. Look at that puppy in there. It’s a beautiful dog.’
