Dog rescued from hot car

[Catherine]

In spite of all the talk about the dangers of dogs in hot cars, on Aug 13, someone left their dog in their car. The car was in the full sun. The sun roof open a couple of inches was the only ventilation. The dog was in a carrier on a wool blanket.  The police were called and they rescued the dog in time. The owner returned about 50 minutes after the rescue.
The owner has been arrested and charged with endangering an animal.

I am glad the owner has been charged. Without the police intervention the dog would be dead. It would have died horribly of heat stress in a car that was like an oven.
How is it possible that someone still doesn't get it about dogs in hot cars. This happened in Ontario and every year some dogs die in hot cars. These tragedies are well publicized.  There are ad campaigns warning people about the dangers of hot cars. Are people stupid or do they just not care?
