A man in Florida has been charged with aggravated animal cruelty after he admitted to leaving his dog chained on the side of a highway while he evacuated ahead of Hurricane Milton.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers shared a video on social media last week of a trooper rescuing a dog chained to a pole near Interstate 75 in Tampa in the hours before Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm last week. In the body camera video, the dog is seen barking at his rescuer as water rises around him.

State Attorney Suzy Lopez said on Tuesday that Giovanny Aldama Garcia, 23, of Ruskin, Florida, was charged after he admitted to leaving his dog on the side of the highway while he evacuated to Georgia. Garcia told investigators that he left the dog, Jumbo, because he couldn’t find anyone to pick him up.
“In Hillsborough County, we protect our most vulnerable citizens, the elderly, children and our four-legged friends,” Lopez said at a press conference Tuesday. “You don’t get away with doing what this man did in Hillsborough County, not under my watch.”
