"He grabs this teacup Yorkie and holds Boo out of the window of the moving car, and he’s howling like an animal while holding the dog out the window. And everyone in the car – I’ll never forget it – everyone just froze. No one did anything. I too was torn as to what I should do because I didn’t want to do anything to cause him to react and drop the dog.”

Heard ended the story by claiming that their dog stepped on a bee the next day, which led to them taking the dog to the vet. Several netizens were confused as to the relevance of her statement.
