Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition Nov 20-22
Over the past six days, King County Animal Care and Control received 35 reports of dogs locked in very hot cars, during what's been Seattle's most dramatically hot week ever (!). Thankfully, no fatalities occurred from pooches being left to suffer and pant their way through 130-degree temperatures.
In most of these cases, the owners had already driven off by the time police responded--except for a case in Maple Valley, where an overheated dog was seized from the vehicle and taken to a local veterinary hospital.
While the heat has been tough on us, it's been even harder for some of our furry four-legged friends to cool off, especially the older, overweight, and super furry. If you see an animal stuck in a car during sweltering heat, call the King County Animal Care and Control (296-PETS) to report the incident.

Good done with this post and appeal. Leaving dogs in cars under the sund is a shame!..which unfortunately happens every year also in Europe.
Please remember that dogs can only transpirate via their paws and tongue, so the very high temperatures the cockpit of the car can reach, are not easy for them to stand and compensate.
