Three "very young" puppies were found left in a hot car within a popular Dorset tourist spot.
Police officers were called by a "concerned" member of the public to the car park at Lodmoor Country Park in Weymouth on Wednesday.
Officers found that the doors of the vehicle had been unlocked and a "concerned and kind" person had removed the three puppies to be checked by a local vet.
Weymouth and Portland Police said that the RSPCA were called and are now involved.

A spokesman added: "Officers remained and took the car owner's details.
"These have been passed to the RSPCA for them to deal. I would like to thank those members of the public that assisted."
