Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) –Las Vegas Metro Police on Thursday released video showing officers rescuing a 3-month-old husky puppy from inside of a hot car at the top of the parking garage at the Bellagio.
The puppy was left inside of the car on the afternoon of July 20th, with no food or water, and its mouth had been taped shut. The car was also in direct sunlight.
Police got a call from hotel security about the dog, and after they responded, went through the vehicle’s sunroof to rescue the dog.

The dog continues to receive treatment from Animal Control. A court date for Carbajal is set for October 26th.
