A 2-year-old goldendoodle named Rocco died after being left tied up in intense sun in Texas, in the United States. The case occurred in the Dallas area and is being investigated by DeSoto police after images of the animal circulated on social media.

Neighbor Jaida Grace posted photos and videos of the dog on the Public Accountability for Animal Welfare (PAWW) Facebook page. She stated that she had repeatedly warned the owners about the conditions in which the animal was being kept.

According to Jaida, she begged the neighbors to stop leaving the puppy outside during the extreme Texas heat, chained for 10 to 15 hours a day, without water and without shade. The investigation into the case was initiated after the content was shared on social media.

Firefighters alert: do not leave these 3 appliances plugged in while you sleep

Firefighters warn about the dangers of leaving the washing machine, tumble dryer, and dishwasher running overnight without supervision. These appliances combine electricity, water, and high temperatures, and a malfunction can cause a fire that goes unnoticed while the family sleeps. The dryer deserves special attention due to lint buildup in the filter, which can impair ventilation. Emergency services recommend programming these appliances to run during periods when someone is awake at home, capable of detecting signs of abnormal operation and reacting quickly.
