-Nottingham, UK. -August 08, 2022. Police bodycams have caught the moment officers rescued a 'distressed' and barking Shih Tzu by smashing in the window of a sweltering hot car. Officers were called to a car park in Nottingham after the dehydrated dog was seen panting and barking for help in the locked car as temperatures hit 26C in the city on Monday afternoon. The owner left a window slightly open but officers arrived to find the poor small black Shih Tzu was overcome by the heat and had collapsed. After a call from tram staff, Nottinghamshire Police arrived at the NET tram park & ride just in time to save the dog's life. An officer smashed in the window then opened the door of the silver hatchback at just after 2.20pm on Monday, August 8. The panting dog was then picked up by the concerned officer, who said: 'Come on. Come on pupper.' He then carried the Shih Tzu to shade and a colleague gave the dog water from a bottle. Police then rushed to a local pet hospital on blue lights where vets recorded his temperature at 39.1C (102.38F)
