This video purportedly shows the shocking moment that a dying dog was discovered after his owners left him in a boiling car while they shopped at Ikea.

In the unverified footage, which was posted on LiveLeak, 14-month-old boxer Fidji can be seen desperately panting while a policeman smashes the car window to free the animal from his plight.

And after a bottle of water is thrown over Fidji, he is soon removed from the car.


But he had stayed in the vehicle for an agonising four hours, according to a caption accompanying the video, and died at 8PM the same day from internal bleeding – despite undergoing a three hour operation.

The caption added that the animal belonged to a French family en route to a wedding in Spain – who had stopped off at Ikea to find a wedding gift.

‘NEVER LET YOUR DOG LOCKED IN YOUR CAR IN THE SUMMER SUN’, the caption emotionally pleads.

Dog owners, take note.
