"They've been traveling a long way already and had a long way to go and they had no idea what they were doing was wrong," said
Sergeant Kris Beitzel. "I did ask him why the dogs were not in the car
and he said he had far more important things to put in the car and there
wasn't room."
Police did not arrest the family of six which included a couple with
their four children less than six years old. Instead police gave them a
warning and educated the family on the law.
"I didn't see any injuries, I did notice all four would not leave each
other," said Beitzel. "They were huddled together, they were scared.
"They had urinated throughout the cage, when I tried to get them out
they ran back in the cage. They were very scared and I imagine
intimidated, having been on top of that van for that long. Now they did
have a tarp that covered three sides of the cage, but they are still
experiencing a lot of wind, a lot of noise."
The three-month-old puppies were taken to Metropolitan Veterinary
Hospital in Akron where they are cared for before being taken to Summit
County Animal Shelter.
