At a press briefing today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) expressed outrage over an incident in which a dog was found chained to a fence as Hurricane Milton approached the state. 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. They’ve confirmed it’s in good health now."

The governor hinted at the possibility of finding the rescued dog a permanent home, stating that it could be put up for adoption. "Who knows? Maybe we’ll do some adoption and have people in Florida compete to take the dog in," he said, adding, "But honestly, it’s just outrageous that anyone would do this.”

DeSantis emphasized Florida's strict animal cruelty laws and called for the responsible party to be held accountable. "I hope they find the person who did this. That person should have the book thrown at them," DeSantis said. "Florida doesn’t tolerate animal cruelty."

The incident has sparked concern among Floridians as the state braces for Hurricane Milton’s impact. While the governor praised law enforcement and first responders, he highlighted the role that service dogs play in emergency situations, stating that Florida has no tolerance for mistreatment of animals.

As Hurricane Milton looms, DeSantis encouraged all Floridians to act responsibly, protect their pets, and report any cases of animal neglect or abuse.
