Avast ye scallywags! The Clearwater constables did clap Marie Rutherford in irons for cruelty to her four-legged companion. Her mutt was saved from a sweltering ship while she cavorted on the sandy shore. Aye, beware the wrath of the law!
In a jolly tale fit for the high seas, a Nashville lass found herself in a spot of trouble down in Florida. Marie Rutherford, a swashbuckling 40-year-old, was thrown in the brig at Pinellas County Jail for leaving her pooch trapped in a scorching car while she frolicked on the beach.The scallywag was caught red-handed by Clearwater police officers, who swooped in to rescue the distressed pup from the fiery confines of the parked vessel. Despite cracking the windows a tad, the poor mutt was panting and sweating like a landlubber, prompting the officers to break in and set it free.Admitting her folly to the lawmen, Rutherford confessed she had left water for the dog, thinking it would suffice. But alas, the dog had suffered for a good half-hour before being rescued.As the tale goes, Clearwater Beach does not permit pets on its sandy shores, save for service animals. The moral of the story, as the wise ASPCA espouses, is to leave your furry companions at home rather than risking a deadly heat stroke in a hot car.
