Multiple dogs being driven from O'Hare Airport to a police K-9 training facility in Indiana died last week after the air conditioning in the truck transporting them failed in a “freak event,” police say.
— Multiple dogs being driven to a police K-9 training facility died in Indiana on Thursday after the air conditioning in the truck transporting them failed in a “freak event,” police say.According to a Facebook post from the Lake Station Police Department, the dogs were traveling from Chicago O’Hare International Airport to Michigan City, Indiana, when the truck was caught in a two-hour traffic delay.
“Since the cargo area was separated, the driver wasn’t aware at the time that the AC unit failed which caused some of the canines to go into heat related medical distress. The driver’s attention as to what was going on inside the cargo area was alerted to him by some of the canines barking,” police said.
“There was an overwhelming response from both agencies so much so that civilians and so many others stopped to help where they could,” police said. “Any loss of life is tragic and thoughts and prayers are with all those that were affect by this ‘freak event,’” police said.
