GGGRRRRR.... Do not leave your dog in the car when its 102 outside!

Yes, thank you so much for taking action when you observed what was going on with this poor dog!

I just heard this morning that a veterinarian here in California was arrested b/c he also left his dog in his car, in the heat. The dog had a seizure and died when the police came to break the door open and try to save him. This was in Palm Desert, CA where temps can get well over 100 degrees on any given day! And this owner was a veterinarian!!!

This is what CA law says about such animal cruelty:

State law prohibits anyone from leaving an animal in an unattended vehicle if it endangers their health or well-being. The law carries a penalty of up to six months in jail, up to $500 in fines or both if the animal is injured or dies.

More states need to have these kinds of laws! I really was outraged when I saw that poor baby. When I climbed back in the truck my daughter was like "I think she was scared mom. You looked so mean!" Heck yeah I looked mean - I was coming out to put my tire jack through her window! Even now I get angry!

The really terrible part is that, yes it's already reached that temp outside...but most times the interior of the car gets hotter than the outside. So the temps are soaring the longer the car sits
