14 dogs were found dead in the back of a box truck after their handler returned from a nap.

The incident occurred in Roseland, Indiana, after a scheduled appearance at the St. Joseph County Fairgrounds where the American Kennel Club dog show was took place.

The handler, Cortney Corral, decided to take a nap after the last day of the show on Friday. She parked the box truck near her room at the Quality Inn to ensure she was nearby in case there were any issues with the dogs. The kennel area of the box truck was equipped with an air conditioning unit for the dogs and was powered via an outlet at the hotel.

Corral claims she fed, watered, and exercised the dogs just 2 hours prior to finding them dead in the truck. She states that the air conditioning was functioning properly at the time and she decided to take a nap. When she awoke two hours later, the air conditioning had stopped working and all 14 dogs were dead due to the extreme heat inside the box truck, according to WANE.

Feel so bad for the dogs and for the trainer ...

Oh that's just awful. A horrid way to die and no matter what, she will always blame herself.
