The car has been identified as a Baojun E100, and the driver, a female, has been summoned to the police station to answer for this irresponsible and dangerous act. The woman told the police that the Husky belonged to her friend, and they decided to ‘walk their dog’ outside of the car on their way home because there was no space for him in the vehicle.
