An English Bulldog named Reba was cruelly taped inside of a sealed plastic bin and abandoned to die in the Las Vegas heat, as reported by KLAS News.

Reba had been trapped and discarded next to a dumpster.
Suffocating and struggling to survive in the triple-digit temperatures, she was heard whimpering by people walking through the parking lot where she was left.

The folks who heard Reba's cries and rescued her from the bin took her to a nearby auto shop, where employees attempted to decrease her spiked body temperatures by rinsing her in cool water.
A local animal rescue group stepped in to help and transported Reba to a veterinary hospital.
On the way, Reba suffered seizures, vomited, and struggled to breathe or move.

Once at the hospital, the medical team began treating Reba for heat stroke, dehydration, and respiratory distress.
Fluid had filled Reba's lungs and she was barely able to breathe on her own.
She needed oxygen, plasma infusions, IV fluids, and round-the-clock care as she clung to life, according to Dr. Keith Mihansky, emergency veterinarian and Interim Medical Director at Veterinary Medical Group in Henderson, Nevada.

Despite Reba's resilience and Veterinary Emergency Group's best efforts to save the sweet English Bulldog, Reba sadly passed away from cardiac arrest.
The heat stroke and shock led to a blood clotting condition that resulted in Reba's death.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police are asking anyone with any information about the incident to contact the LVMPD Animal Cruelty Detail by phone at 702-828-2907.
To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 702-385-5555.

Vegas Pet Rescue Project posted on social media that initially "several local animal rescue angels stepped up to offer a $13,500 reward" after hearing about Reba.
Within days the reward grew to $21,500.
