I find it hard to understand why people are still doing this. Yes I think it would be a good idea for those people who are convicted to do a dog safety course.
I am ver glad to hear the dog was saved very quickly. It's hard to imagine someone would go out to lunch and leave their dog in a baking hot car! 66C (150F) is literally the low temperature of an oven.
It's a very well written article.
I think I've said this before here, but I heard a true story that happened in the tiny town near where my mother used to live in England. A woman had her dog in the car on a hot day, and just stopped by a post box to post a letter. No problem, you'd think. She would be back in probably one minute....
...Except she was hit by a car on her way back crossing the road. She was injured and knocked out. People phoned an ambulance and she was taken to hospital. where she was treated. The big problem was it took a while for her to regain consciousness, remember what had happened, remember her dog, and tell the hospital staff.
Police went to the car when they eventually located it -to find the dog had died. The woman recovered from her injuries very well, but we can only imagine how she must have felt.
A terribly sad outcome. And the woman meant no harm to her dog. But it goes to show anything can happen.
