Owners Left Front Windows Wide Open For Their Dog On Hot Day But They Miscalculated — Big Time
A video shared on Facebook
by the Roswell Police Department is a frightening reminder of the
dangers of leaving a dog in the car— even with the window open.
In the video, the two officers record the outside temperature at 97
degrees, but inside the car, even with the driver’s window rolled down,
the temperature is 150 degrees.
Not only is the open window no protection for the dog, but a brief
stop is no guarantee that heat won’t rise to dangerous levels.
The ASPCA
warns that on an 85 degree day —even with the windows cracked — the
temperature in the car can go up to 102 degrees in 10 minutes and 120
degrees in 30 minutes. Even on a relatively pleasant 78 degree day, the
interior of a car can go up to 160 degrees.
So what do can one do if they see a dog locked in a car on a hot day?
According to the ASPCA, the first thing to do is contact 911 or
animal control, as they have the ability to open the car and rescue the
pet. In order to cool down an overheated animal, soak it with cool (not
ice) water and consult a veterinarian for emergency care.
Fortunately, the two police officers in the video were able to come
to the rescue of the dog on the back seat and brought in the local fire
department to help cool off the dog with some water.
As for the driver of the car, they were charged with cruelty to animals.
Please keep your cats and kittens inside as best as possible. If you
have outdoor cats please check them over around their head and neck
areas for these nasty things.
This little kitten had FOUR and it took two operations to remove them.
Urging us to rethink the “dogma” of dogs as omnivores, Dr. Wouter
Hendriks of Utrecht University’s veterinary school in the Netherlands, laid out a detailed and ultimately convincing argument in favor of
canine carnivorous-ness at the Waltham International Nutritional
Sciences Symposium in Portland, Ore.
But how can that be, you ask? After all, we’ve been studying the
dog’s nutritional needs for a hundred years or more now. Why the sudden
shift in thinking on something that seems so basic?
