Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis announced this week that the former owner of a dog that the Highway Patrol saved as Hurricane Milton hit land has been caught and will be charged with cruelty to animals.
“We had somebody decide, as Hurricane Milton approached, that it would somehow be a good thing to take his dog and chain it to a post on the interstate,” DeSantis said during a press conference at the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
Orlando Morales, an officer with the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), filmed the dog standing in a pool of water because it couldn’t get away from the fence as Milton made his way to land.
