Not my area, but dang! I hope the dogs are found. Why would you leave the dogs unattended...

They went to get food and the van was too tall to fit thru the drive thru.. so they went inside.. left the car running with A/C on.... not a smart move.. I can leave my car running and take the remote and lock the door... don't know why they didn't do that. but hindsight is 20/20... these dogs need to be found fast. :(

@minx267 Yes, I read the news article because they were hungry and went to In & Out, but they could have ordered food in the drive thru..... Oh not all cars have the remote? Like the viper or where you can leave car running, lock while take the key also. i don't think the dogs will be killed or anything, may be sold off.

I blame the one who left the van unattended, people should be more careful. I hope the dogs will be rescued.

Me too.. yes they were foolish not to lock the door or leave someone in the car and go in one at a time! everyone living on this planet should know other people can not be trusted! I feel for the dogs... it has now been about 7 hours and these dogs are all still locked in cages... this is horrible!

the person who stole the van probably did not even know there were dogs in it as it was in a closed off section of the van.... the van was discovered abandoned in another town with all the dogs still in it.. they are safe now.

@minx267 That's a good news. They just used the van as a getaway vehicle. Poor animals, I am sure they were so hungry when the authorities find them.

Me too... so many hours have now passed. I feel for these dogs! they are stuck in the back of the van in little cages... These people who stole this and did not return it after discovering living beings in it.. should rot in hell

is the van found now? i hope the authorities will find the van and the dogs. so hard to know that even there in your place, there are people who don't have the heart for dogs.

@ridingbet As far as I know they have yet to catch who did it.. he abandoned the van in the woods and it was found by a new helicopter that was out looking for it. so unless they dusted the steering wheel for finger prints.. .. I don't know if they are going to find him.. the photos from the surveillance cameras were pretty fuzzy.

I think they found these dogs but it's such a terrible crime for anyone to try and commit. I have a rescue dog who was used as a puppy mother and eventually starved, left in her own excrement and abandoned. I think people who use dogs like this must have absolutely no morals or conscience.
