The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station was notified around 3 p.m. of a parked vehicle that had “two dogs in distress” locked inside at the parking lot for the theme park on the 26100 block of Magic Mountain Parkway in Valencia, according to an email from Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokeswoman for the SCV Sheriff’s Station.
