Thought it'd be good to post this up for all that haven't read it yet since we're in the heat of the summer.

I wish we would have read this article sooner. We thought we were safe letting Athena out in the middle of the night for walks and play time. We figured since it was around 80 degrees out she would be safe. We were so wrong. Athena suffered from a heat stroke and seizure due to it. They said that she could have suffered from the heat stroke up to 3 days before she had the seizure. By the time we got her to the vets office her temperature was 108.5, it was the scariest day let me tell you. 2 days in the dog ICU and a $926 vet bill later she was good to come home. We had no idea that she couldn't handle being outside like we were doing. She is good now, back to her normal playful puppy self.

Please all bully owners, read the article. It is very good information to know!

I think this is great for all dog owners! My sister lost a boxer a few years ago after 10 minutes outside. Some dogs are more tolerable, but why risk it?
