Dog rescued from hot car

[Catherine]

That is too sad. She certainly didn't mean to leave her dog. What happened to her was an unforeseen accident. The dog still died.

Maybe the lesson is that we need to start foreseeing possible problems. I never leave a pan on the stove unattended. I just went outside to pick some fresh mint and forgot and did some weeding. I boiled the potatoes dry and burned them to the bottom of the pan. It was an enamel pan and it melted to the stove burner.
The burner and pan had to be replaced. I am just lucky I didn't cause a fire. 

 If it had been my pet in a car, my pet would have been dead. I didn't mean to forget what I was doing, but I did. If I had tripped in the garden and been  knocked out the result would have been the same. Unforeseen things can happen. Don't leave a pan on the stove and don't leave a dog in a car. Even to just cross the road is too risky.

That must have been so hard for that woman to find out that her dog was dead like that.
