Do not transport your child in a dog cage - Seriously

What would your reaction be if as you were driving along the turnpike, and you happened to see a small girl, her dog, all in a cage in the back of a pick up truck?

You would take a picture, and video of course....and then you call the police.

The Morning Call reports that holiday travelers were shocked on Monday evening to see a 10-year-old girl in a dog cage in the back of a pickup on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.



Their calls led police to Millvale, where the child was found unharmed in the cage with a small dog. Her mother and stepfather were charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

Abbey Carlson, 29, who is the child's mother, and Thomas Fishinger, 30, both of Millvale, were awaiting arraignment on Monday night in Night Court on the charges filed when Millvale police stopped the truck near their home on Evergreen Road.
