LAW ENFORCEMENT AND animal welfare officials in New Jersey are investigating an incident in which a dead Rottweiler puppy was found in the trunk of a car.
A horrible smell was coming from a car and a repair lot and when authorities arrived to investigate they discovered the seven to eight-month-old puppy’s body. NJ.com reports police say the puppy was likely trapped in the car for three days.
“It was a horrible sight,” Animal Control Officer John DeCando said. “This was not an accident. This was done deliberately. A dog can’t jump into the trunk of a car and close it behind him.”
NBC New York reports authorities said the dog ‘melted from the heat’ in the trunk.
The car was being repaired at the lot and the owner of the company also owned the dog. He had reported it missing three days before it was discovered.

Why the fk put this story up? is life not bad enough.
In my selfishness I feel the same… My heart breaks reading it. God love the poor fella.
You said it, Walter
Mary well said. Praise be to Allah.
You don’t usually want to be ignorant to what’s happening in the world, then a story like this comes along.
they say it wasn’t an accident and the owner reported his dog missing around the day time , but maybe the puppy got into the boot and fell asleep and then someone just came along and closed it when they were finished working on the car ?
more than likely that’s what happened but people love assuming the worst all the time
The first thing someone even with a low IQ would do is check the cars on the lot. It’s not rocket science.
The dog would have been barking, even easier to narrow it down.
*same time *
The owners should have the same fate befall them… Disgusting.
Why? how would that make anything better?
because justice!
It wasn’t the owners that killed the dog. Someone else locked his dog in someone else’s car that was being repaired in his garage. It was someone who just didn’t like dogs.
Why is the journal always putting up these horrible stories . Do yous like to upset people. This upsets me so much I’m going to delet your app from my pad
I hate it too but what do we do, ignore it? We need to be told. Someone somewhere will know the person in the story and karma will prevail.
Its bad enough the person who wrote the original piece in the NYJ qouted someone saying the dog ‘Melted to death’, but then the journal needs to qoute that qoute in their headline. Click bait at the expense of a dead dog. Sick.
Not to be pedantic but can you actually ‘melt to death’? Surely you pass out or suffocate first?
Even then I don’t think it would melt. Surely bones wouldn’t melt in a hot car? Why tell it as it is when you can dramatise and sensationalise.
The headlines have become very tabloid-like. Dogs don’t melt, they decompose just like we do. If the headline was copied from another source, then I feel that’s even worse. This is a tragic story to begin with, please don’t sensationalise it with graphic language that doesn’t even make sense. In saying that, I thank you for bringing any news to the public and I offer this as constructive criticism.
It’s a quote
Red thumb this story! Poor thing
I abhor any cruelty to animals but I think there is enough happening in this country to provide material for the journal.
How about we cover issues at least within our region. Like this for example – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZT0HdCc73Q
Our new “European” friends blocking up a main traffic route in Milan because they didn’t (yet) receive the free houses they were promised. Is that not important news thejournal.ie?
Stephen, I’m sure that story was reported in Milan. Not every story can be reported everywhere at once. There is a limit you know!
I’ll put in a good word for you lad. After all, your station in life demands that your interests should supersede all others.
@Dublinlad – While that is true, I really think if one of the most popular online publications in Ireland wants to taken seriously, it should report on serious issues once in a while. Not saying that the puppy dying isn’t serious…more that it isn’t going to effect anyone in Ireland and that Irish people knowing about it won’t change anything in the USA. Would also do the journal some good to at least show some balance on the economic migrants issue.
@Corky – Cheers, man. I appreciate it if you would but don’t be sticking your neck out on my account while on your jobsbridge internship. You’ve got a fine future ahead writing for the Daily Edge if you play your cards right.
And now you project a work ethic upon me, pinch me please I won the lottery.
It was on the EuroNews in the “No Comment”section, but i don’t think any Irish channel
f uck ing bas tards.
Great journalism ..juxtaposition a child?
A dog dies somewhere in the world, another slow news day? Zzzzzzzzzzz. Could you not just make up another story with some tenuous link to Sinn Fein, Irish Water or that irrelevant tyranny? Oh sorry, you actually did one on the freak.
Melted? Made of plastic or metal?
I really hope they get what’s coming to them
maybe the bloke was hungry and wanted a
hotdog
have your say
