Hot Weather Reminder...

Did you know that on an 80 degree day the inside temperature of a parked car can climb from 100 to 120 in a few minutes?  You can imagine what the temperature would rise to on a 90 degree day.  Every summer, dogs die because of owners leaving them in the car while they shop or do other errands.  Even with windows left partially open or parked in the shade, temperatures can reach dangerous levels that can seriously harm or kill your pet.  Dogs can suffer from brain damage or die from heatstroke in as little as 15 minutes as they are only able to cool themselves by panting or sweating through the pads of their feet.  The solution is easy.  Leave your pet home if you're going somewhere that doesn't allow pets.  If you see a pet in a parked car on a warm, sunny day,  go to the nearest store and have them page the owner.  If they can't be found or refuse to act, contact your local law enforcement or animal control.
