Summer Pet Safety, Urgent
Hello Bloggers,
Today we are posting to describe a certain issue that often occurs. Picture this: You're walking through the parking lot of your local grocery store and you see a dog sitting inside of a car, and that is awfully thirsty. If you are a citizen of one of the following eight states, California, Colorado, Indiana, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio, or Tennessee, you are actually allowed to break the cars' window and take the dog. A dog could be killed in a hot car if left alone. New York also just passed a law that if in the Summer you are to see a dog alone in the car, you can take the dog out. But if you are not in one of those states, you can call the police. But the main point is, don’t leave your dog alone in the hot car. It can be very dangerous, even if you do it only for a minute. Because of dogs fur, they are usually hotter than humans. So in the summer it is pretty uncomfortable when they are put in extreme heat. So even if you think the temperature isn’t that hot outside, for the dog it’s a different story. Also the interiors of cars heat up really fast. At my camp, my counselor registered the temperature outside at 93 degrees Fahrenheit but inside her car, the temp was 120 degrees Fahrenheit. So your dog never has it easy in a hot car. Thank you for you patience and share this post with any dog owners you know.
Thanks!
