2 dogs died inside hot car with closed windows in Massachusetts, police say; 2 women charged
Two women have been charged with animal cruelty in Bridgewater, Massachusetts after police said two dogs died inside a hot car on Wednesday. Police were called to a condo on Heather Lane shortly after 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday after getting a 911 call reporting two women screaming and crying outside the building. When police arrived, they said they found two dead medium-sized dogs lying on the ground near a walkway. The 59-year-old woman and 32-year-old woman, both of Bridgewater, had allegedly left the dogs inside a hot car for more than 90 minutes with the windows closed and no air conditioning. The two women allegedly took the dogs out of the car and tried to revive them before police were called. Bridgewater firefighters determined the temperature inside the car at the time was at least 130 degrees. Police said their investigation also revealed the dogs had also been living in unsanitary conditions inside the home. Both women will be summoned to Brockton District Court on charges of cruelty to animals and confinement of an animal in a motor vehicle causing exposure to extreme heat. The women aren't being identified but police said they're related. The two dogs, a 4-year-old male and a 2-year-old female, were taken to a veterinarian's office for a necropsy. "This is a really terrible tragedy that was truly preventable," said Bridgewater Police Chief Christopher Delmonte at a news conference Thursday. "In extreme conditions, particularly under direct sunlight, we know that vehicles can heat up very, very quickly and so our advice to people is obviously make your pets a priority as well as your own family," said Delmonte. "But in making them a priority, make sure you're accounting for the conditions that may sneak up on you." In 2016, then-Gov. Charlie Baker signed a law that allows people to rescue animals trapped in hot cars without facing charges if they believe the animals are in imminent danger.

'Good person': Homeless man who Bridgewater rallied around has died. Who was Greg Bobst?
Greg Bobst, a well-known figure in Bridgewater often seen around the center of town in a hockey jersey, has died. Many residents knew who he was and would stop and chat with him. Bobst spent most of his time in Bridgewater Central Square, according to police, where he was a familiar face to the community who cared about him. Recently, Bobst could be seen riding around town on a new electric bike that he bought with funds raised by a GoFundMe campaign, according to its organizer. Bobst, who was homeless, left his residence in February of 2024 to live on the streets of Bridgewater after a dispute with his landlord and another tenant, The Enterprise previously reported. He ended up living in a tent near a construction site. The Enterprise and The Boston Globe previously wrote about Bobst getting a second chance, as a Bridgewater family and the police rallied around him. "It's hell to be homeless," Bobst told an Enterprise reporter in April. Bridgewater Police Lt. Scott Hile said people all over town knew who Bobst was and checked in on him. "The fire department would give him water. Everybody knew who he was and would stop and say hi to him," Hile said. 'Most of the police department knew Greg and have known him for years," Hile said. "Our relationship was good.' "We knew him to always be around town in a hockey jersey," Hile said. "We'd wave and say hi. We were always able to interact with him in a positive manner." On July 1, Bobst died after being transported to the hospital by the Bridgewater Fire Department, according to Hile. 'He was a good person,' Hile said. Greg Bobst's story Homeless man gets second chance as Bridgewater family, cops rally around him Why did Bobst leave his home? In April, The Enterprise spoke to Bobst and Rachel Kadis, a member of the Bridgewater family that took him in temporarily, about his life before he lived in a tent. Kadis said he was renting a room in Bridgewater on Main Street for five years. But, she said, a dispute took place between the landlord, Bobst and another tenant. In just days, Bobst was living on the streets in a tent, she said. Kadis invited Bobst into her home and by April 1, he had a room in her unfinished basement. Bobst lived there until he "abruptly" left on May 18, Kadis said in an email to The Enterprise on July 10. Community rallied around Bobst When Bridgewater Police found Bobst trying to stay warm at a private laundromat, Bridgewater Police K9 Sgt. Steve Kingsley and Lt. John Hennessey III didn't just kick him out and leave it at that. Instead, they reached into their own pockets. "Kingsley paid for a hotel at the Marriott Residence Inn and Hennessey brought him a coat to keep warm," Police Chief Chris Delmonte told The Enterprise in April. "Other officers didn't know more officers were helping out Bobst. They would bring him food and clothing," Delmonte said in April. And Crispi's, an Italian restaurant in Bridgewater, offered to provide Bobst with a fresh meal every Wednesday. The GoFundMe campaign Kadis started a GoFundMe for Bobst titled, "Support Greg's Journey to Stability" on March 11, 2025. She shared Bobst's situation on Facebook. The more she shared, the more people were listening and donating to Bobst's GoFundMe, The Enterprise reported in April. According to Kadis and the GoFundMe page, the campaign raised $17,800.
