How long does it take a chocolate dog to melt in a hot van?

Every year there are dogs and children left in cars. Some malls and big stores have volunteers or staff that check the cars in the parking lot for dogs. It is understood that the police will come right away, but if the animal is in distress it is okay to break a car window and free it.

There are ads in the news and on various radio stations. The message is out there and people still don't get it.
