WTF?! Some people do NOT deserve pets!

To make matters worse, the crate was positioned directly behind the vehicle's exhaust.

Good for you taking all your babies with you when you had to evacuate NO. Must have
been quite a puzzle to get every body comfortably settled.

for 2 hours until the police finally pulled them over.

I hope and pray that poor dog was taken from those idjits and they are banned from having any animals again.
