Dogs And Kids In Hot Cars
by: jessica mercier
On a 78-degree day, the temperature inside a shaded car is
90 degrees, while the inside of a car parked in the sun can reach 160
degrees in minutes. Heatstroke can kill your pet or your child in a very
short time!
Please, please do not ever leave your dog or child in a parked car in the
summertime or when the temperatures are warm. If you see a dog or child in a
hot car, take down the plate number, make and model of the car and see if
the owner can be paged. Call local authorities such as the police to see if
they will free the dog or child by opening the car door.
In many jurisdictions, this is regarded as cruelty to animals and is
punishable by law. In the case of a child it is certainly neglect and is
punishable. Please think, it only takes but a minute to go in a store but
worse, it only takes but a few minutes for your best pal or your
son/daughter to die.
On a related note, all creatures require more hydration in the summer
months. Frequently offer sips of cool water to be sure that everyone is
getting the water they need to be healthy as the summer heat pulls great
amounts of moisture from the body.
