It doesn’t take long for a car to heat up, even in the spring. And since dogs don’t sweat the way we do, they aren’t able to cool themselves off.
The debate about how and when people should intervene in these cases restarts every spring as the death toll mounts. But what is more valuable is the simple lesson: don’t leave your dog in the car when it’s warm out.
There is more than enough research, information and media coverage on this subject (see the video below) to make it pretty clear. Don’t do it.
Work like our growing Living With Wildlife campaign is only possible with the support of monthly donors. Please consider become a monthly donor – for as little as $5 a month – and help us create a Canada that is truly fur-free.
