High temperatures often mean bad news for dogs. During the summer, the number of dogs who die after being left in enclosed cars increases dramatically. In the last two weeks alone:
A 14-year-old Golden retriever named Delta died in the car while her owner shopped at Costco on a 104-degree day in Frederick, Maryland.
In New York, a six-pound Maltese died in a 140-degree car while his owner went for a swim in a state park.
A Wisconsin woman left her pit bull in her car at Wal-Mart while she attended a court matter. Police broke the car window and tried to save the dog, but he died at the scene.
Through the My Dog is Cool Campaign, UAN informs pet owners that leaving a dog in an enclosed vehicle can be dangerous and deadly.
