Can I break a window to save a dog in a hot car? Here’s what NY law says
“For everyone else in New York state: If you see a pet in a car on a hot day, you’ll have to call 911 to respond to the situation. If you break into a car, you could face up to 18 months in prison for criminal mischief, as well as charges for theft, burglary or trespassing — animals are considered property — plus a lawsuit for any damage caused to the car.”
