Target: Monique H. Worrell, State Attorney of Orange County, Florida
Goal: Prosecute person who allegedly left dogs to die in lethally hot car.
A devastating incident occurred last weekend at Disney Springs, where a puppy reportedly died and three others barely survived after being left in an excessively hot car. Allegedly, the owner irresponsibly assumed the slightly cracked window and shaded parking would suffice, which led to this preventable tragedy. The outside temperature of 86 degrees rapidly escalated inside the vehicle, reportedly reaching lethal levels that proved fatal for one of the young Bernedoodles.
Reportedly, the surviving puppies, also suffering from extreme distress, were rescued just in time and required urgent medical care to recover from their ordeal. This incident highlights a dangerous misconception among pet owners regarding the safety of animals left in cars, especially in climates as hot as Florida’s. Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) and local authorities were alerted by a vigilant security guard, showcasing the critical role of community awareness in preventing such suspected negligence.
This horrific event calls for immediate and strict legal action to ensure justice for the lost puppy and its companions. Send a clear message that such irresponsible actions will not be tolerated.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear State Attorney Worrell,
We, the undersigned, urge you to take immediate action concerning a heart-wrenching incident of alleged animal cruelty at Disney Springs. It appears a puppy tragically lost its life due to severe neglect by the owner, who reporetedly left it and three others in a locked car under dangerously hot conditions. This incident seemingly occurred despite the accessible knowledge and numerous warnings about the risks of leaving pets in cars, especially during the hot summer months in Florida.
The details of this case are disturbing: the temperature inside the car reportedly soared to life-threatening levels, leading to the death of one puppy and putting the lives of three others at grave risk. Fortunately, due to the timely intervention of Orange County Animal Services and the Reedy Creek Fire Department, the remaining puppies were saved and have since been adopted by caring individuals from the fire department.
We demand that you prosecute the owner for the alleged felony animal cruelty. It is crucial to address and deter such apparent negligence to protect innocent animals from unnecessary suffering and death. We implore you to take strong legal action against the owner and promote better awareness and stricter enforcement of animal welfare laws.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

The owner should be made to wear a big coat in his or hers car and sit there with all windows shut for hours. Why bring a dog if they are going to leave it in a hot car it just don’t make sense. Dont they know it against the law to leave your pet dogs in a hot car. They sounds like stupid clueless idiots who don’t deserve to own any pets
Agreed!
Put this S.O.B. SAVAGE into a sauna, keep heating it up until he expires. No loss to anyone.
The only thing to do is put the owner in the same car and let him/her bake in it for several hours.
The owners should be executed
I agree fully
Of course the owners should be punished. With jail time, money and never be allowed to own a dog again.
When will people learn!?!? I’m assuming this person knew better and did it on purpose.
Do the same thing to this person. If he/she survive, then prosecute to the fullest.
There needs to be a law in all states that pets must be left at home or cannot be left alone in cars. Stores and other public places should allow pets inside their businesses.
An eye for an eye. How many times do we have to go through this?!!!!!! I am so sick of hearing this. What is wrong with people? Are these people brain damage or something?!!!! I hope these people do not get these dogs back. And I hope that they are going to pay for the veterinary bills and then get charged for felony abuse of the dogs and lose their jobs and their tax refunds get garnished for the Vet bills for these dogs and the fines.
NEVER EVER LEAVE A DOG IN A CAR IN THE STIFLING HEAT IDIOT!
And so it begins … the brain dead killing animals … til the season of stupid.
NO ONE SHOULD EVER TAKE THEIR ANIMALS WITH THEM, UNLESS THEY ARE MOVING OR GOING TO THE VET! LEAVE YOUR ANIMALS HOME, FOR THE LOVE OF PETE! WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE LEFT IN A DEADLY HOT CAR WITH YOUR HANDS AND FEET TIED AND TETHERED SO YOU COULDN’T GET OUT?
Eye for an eye for these irresponsible assholes!! Then MAYBE they’ll think twice before acting irresponsibly or committing animal abuse!!!!!NEVER leave an animal in a vehicle no matter where you live or the temperature. It’s dangerous. And it’s also putting the animal in harms way of being kidnapped!!!!
There is NO excuse in the world for this kind of tragedy to happen. EVERYONE knows, DO NOT leave kids or animals in vehicles. COLD OR HOT!!
If was there, I would of smashed every single window in that pos car!
Me too!
You know what… people make mistakes. Shame on all of you for not recognizing a person who made a mistake vs. a person who is intentionally cruel. That person is probably devastated. Let those of you who have never made a mistake cast the first stone.
A mistake. Would you leave your newborns inside a car at 100 degree inside the car for hours? This is not a mistake. It is common sense and intelligence. Anyone with common sense would not leave animals of any kind or people inside a car with any type of temperature.
Who in their right mind leaves ANY animal OR human in a hot car even with a window cracked!! With so much media attention over the years regarding this issue, this POS owner, even though common sense applies here, should have known better!! It was obviously inconvenient for the owner to keep these helpless puppies safe, so they took the “easy” way! This irresponsible, POS owner needs to be held responsible for their lack of care and downright negligence towards these puppies that were dependent on their owner to keep them from harm. Please no plea bargaining!! I’m SICK SND TIRED of POS owners getting away with cruelty and murder of their animals!! Significant jail time, high $$ fine, and banning from owning or caring for puppies/dogs forever is a start!! Don’t fail these puppies and any other dogs that WILL die from this very same scenario by other irresponsible POS owners!!!
Totally agree Adrienne!
this is just like leaving a child in the car when it terribly hot out sided. very inhumane and the person needs to pay for it tjis hideoues crime
No animal deserves to be the victim of brainless human idiots!
ALL pet owners should have their IQ examined before buying a dog or any other animal.
MAX JAIL for this lowlife scum!
It’s Florida where they are banning books. Do you think they care about animals?
