After police received a tipoff that the woman had chained her Shiba Inu to the roof of a building, the animal protection service sent over an inspector on July 31, the Central News Agency reported.
Keelung, a harbor town known for its frequent rain, was experiencing its second day in a row of 35-degree temperatures that day. However, measurements showed that on the floor of the roof, the mercury topped 61 degrees at 1 p.m. that day.
Even though the animal had been supplied with an 0.41-square-meter plastic doghouse, temperatures inside were higher than outside on the roof, the animal protection service said.
