The dog was successfully extracted from the car's sunroof by the LVMPD. The dog was discovered salivating and unable to breathe, according to bodycam footage supplied by the department.

Raul Carbajal, 50, the owner, was detained for wilful and malicious animal mistreatment.

While the case was upsetting, the poor animal's life quickly improved. The Las Vegas-based charity The Animal Foundation revealed that the husky, now named Duchess, has been adopted just weeks after she was rescued!
