A Nebraska family learned the hard way that when the summer sun is beating down on a parked car, even leaving the air conditioner on doesn’t always provide a safe place for pets.
A German Shepherd died inside a parked SUV while her owners enjoyed lunch and drinks just steps away inside Omaha, Nebraska restaurant DJ’s Dugout.
Before parking the SUV and going inside the restaurant, the out-of-town visitors placed their German shepherd inside a plastic travel kennel in the rear of the vehicle and turned on the air conditioning to keep her cool.
Sadly, despite being left to cool the vehicle, the air conditioner did not provide enough air flow or ventilation during the couple’s three hour lunch. The kennel was placed next to a rear window and the vehicle was parked in full sun.
At about 3:00pm, the couple went outside to leave and discovered the dog soaking wet in her kennel and not breathing. The man rushed inside the restaurant begging for water and ice for the dog and a server, who is also a nurse, began chest compressions hoping to revive the dog.

This is the part where I hate people. I can't wait to see how many morons drag their dogs down to the folked festival.
Leave your dog at home morons.
Before doing this with your dog, try a short experiment with a person.
Damn dumb people
Who takes 3 hours to eat lunch gezzz. The article also stated that the restaurant has an outdoor area that is dog friendly. Throwing cold water on a dog in the heat is not good either. It's better to lay a cool towel on their stomach rather then pour water on them to cool them down. The AC in a car only works well when the car is moving.
Who has a 3 hour lunch, especially while traveling?

Something wrong with this story.
3 hour lunch?
Dog soaking wet? Dogs don't sweat
Sorry for the dog. Cooking is not a good way to go.
The answer is you don't have a 3 hour lunch. You have a 30 minute lunch then you sit there and get drunk for the next 2 1/2 hours.
1:22 NO on the cool towels. They only act as a sauna. The best is to if possible in a cool bath while dog standing up while pouring cool water on them. They cool down through their paws. And standing helps the air to circulate. Cool water not ice cold as cooling to quickly can do more harm.

"discovered the dog soaking wet"
What??? Dogs don't / can't sweat.
Some people should not have pets or children for that matter.
1:49 PM - Dogs salivate and increase their breathing rate to try to cool themselves. They do it until they die from the heat. Their heads, chests and front legs get soaked.
Morons! Put them in a kennel and let them fry. The dog put all his faith and loyalty in those jerks, only to die a very cruel death.
