Stop leaving dogs in cars!

[Catherine]

Every year many dogs die in hot cars. We get temperatures over 30C. I can't even imagine how hot it must feel in a car. Just being outside is tough.

I worked outside today in a garden next to a parking area. I just touched the outside of a car and it was burning hot. I could feel heat reflecting off the cars. How hot must it have been inside them. The white cars were as hot as the dark ones. Cars that had arrived recently felt just as hot. 

On a hot day a car is an oven! You wouldn't put you best friend in the oven. Why would you leave him in something just as hot.

Why aren't people getting the message.
