DeSantis condemned the act as "unbelievable" and thanked the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) officers from Tampa for rescuing the animal. “A video was posted earlier today of a dog chained up during the hurricane. I mean, what kind of person leaves a dog tied to a pole in the middle of a hurricane?" DeSantis said. "It's unbelievable that somebody would do that. I'm grateful to the FHP folks for saving the dog.
