How To Help A Dog Locked In A Car

It’s probably obvious to most of us that dogs shouldn’t be left in cars in 90 degree heat, but what about on a regular warm day, when it’s cool in the shade?

You’ll crack the windows for Fido and everything will be fine … there’s a breeze coming in, you’re not parked in direct sun. No problem, right?

WRONG! A car traps the heat of the sun like a greenhouse, even when parked in the shade, even with the windows cracked.

I leave mine in the truck with the windows all the way down and if it is really hot, I leave the AC on. Pity the fool that reaches in "his" truck when I am not in it too.

Then your dog has a chance of being put down. Why don't you just leave it at home?
