With the dog days of summer upon us, police remind citizens not to leave their pets unattended in parked cars.
With today's warm temperatures, officers responded to two calls for service where concerned citizens reported that dogs left unattended in parked cars appeared to be in distress. When police attended, the owners had returned to their vehicles and the dogs appeared to be fine.
This, however, serves as a reminder for all pet owners about the dangers of leaving animals in parked cars in the summer. On a hot day, even with the windows open, a parked vehicle quickly becomes like a furnace and presents potentially fatal conditions for pets left inside.
