One Reason Why To Never Leave Your Dog In A Hot Car

They'll die!
I know it can be incomprehensible for many out there when they read about a dog or a human left in a car during the summer when some one has to run an errand. But for many they still think it is okay to think that "I just have to run into Walgreens to pick something up and the dog will okay if I leave the windows cracked and some water." - unless you leave the car running with the air blasting, it is not okay. Life happens, you run into someone and pretty soon it's been twenties minutes since you've left your four legged family member inside the car. Let me repeat this because it should not cross your mind: it is not okay to leave an animal in a car during the summer months without running air conditioning.  The inside of a car can jump 20 degrees from the outside temperature within 10 minutes and the more the dog pants the faster it will heat up.

Here's a link I recommend watching - Dr. Ernie Ward takes us inside a car to show us what it's like for an animal to be locked inside a car when it's hot outside.
