JUSTICE FOR KODY
He was family. He trusted us. Now we make sure his name means something — and that this never happens to another dog.
Kody & his owner 🚔

This is one of the last moments they had together, inside the vehicle on July 27, 2026. Waldemar is now fighting for answers.

What happened to Kody 🐾
Kody was an 8-month-old merle French bulldog with big blue eyes and zero chill — a puppy who greeted strangers like old friends.
On July 27, 2026, his owner, Waldemar Gonzalez, was pulled over in a traffic stop in Rockton, Illinois. According to Gonzalez, he was detained and Kody was left inside a hot police cruiser. By the time the stop was over, the puppy had suffered fatal heatstroke.
Brachycephalic breeds like Frenchies can't cool themselves down — in a closed vehicle on a summer day, temperatures climb past 120°F in minutes. Kody never stood a chance.
Details as described publicly by Kody's owner. This page exists so his name isn't quietly forgotten and so the questions get answered.
