1965 - Signal newspaper owner Scott Newhall shows up for a duel (of words) with rival Canyon Country newspaper publisher Art Evans, who no-shows and folds his paper soon after [story]
headline


As a heat wave gripped the Santa Clarita Valley, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies on Tuesday helped rescue another dog locked in a car in a local parking lot.

It was the second hot dog rescued by deputies this week.

About a dozen onlookers gathered around a silver, two-door Mercedes coupe in the Costco parking lot in Canyon Country around 11:30 a.m., as the temperature approached 100 degrees.

Deputies rescued the dog and when KHTS News arrived, they were handcuffing the vehicle’s owner, who became irate after learning his window was smashed.

Read the full story and watch the video from KHTS [here].

  5. I can’t believe that this still happens. What the heck is wrong with these people? ?

  7. Unfortunately this will continue to happen, everywhere, every season, every year. The picture above is “dangerous” to the pup compared to the one that was posted here yesterday with the window half down. Is it really necessary to post these stories all day everyday? We got it. Stupid people will be stupid people & people will ALWAYS call the police for petty issues.
    Give it a rest & move on. You are not a hero.

  8. Owner should do same amount of time locked in car.

  21. What is wrong with people!!!

  22. Clarice L Griffith says:

    What is the matter with people?! Try sitting in your car for 2 minutes in this heat. I think the city should charge a fine of $1,000. There is no excuse for such stupidity. If the dog just got groomed, the vet take them home and then go to the store.
