Summer Heat and Dogs, Do Not Mix
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007A Chihuahua died after being left in a closed vehicle outside of Home Depot in Portsmouth, NE in 95-degree weather. The owner had run into Home Depot with the dog and had thrown cold water on it and put it in front of a fan in an attempt to revive it, but by the time police arrived, the dog and owner were gone.
The owner had taken the dog to a local animal hospital where it was pronounced dead. The dog death was the most serious of six calls police received Friday for dogs locked in vehicles during the scorching heat.
Please, please do not leave your pets in your vehicle in the summer in any heat. Cracking the window does not work. Only leaving them for a moment, can kill them.
