Even a mild temperature of 78° F in a car can rise above one hundred degrees in a few minutes. For a closed dog in a car, this could be unbearable torture.

Some time ago in the UK, a passerby accidentally noticed that the pet locked in a car when its owner had probably gone to the shopping for a short time.
Shocked by the dog’s appearance, the passer-by decided to break the car window to save the dog from trouble.
The owner of the car allegedly left the puppy in the car while they were shopping. Police in Swindon, Wiltshire, on Monday received reports of a dog being in trouble.
Concerned about the dog’s safety, Inspector Steph Daly of the Wiltshire police said at the scene.
People think that their pets will be fine if they leave them for five minutes, but with what is happening in the world at the moment, we need to be aware that we will stay longer.
CSOs Milen and Coleman took care of the dog, named Junior, for just over an hour until the driver returned to the car. Another concerned witness brought water for him.
Initially, the perpetrator who broke the window reported to the police that he would break the window if they did not break it.
When he noticed that it was too late for Junior, he decided to save him and decided to break the window.
The dog’s rescuer will not be charged with damages because the police justified his actions.
The law justifies damage if the perpetrator believed that the property owner would agree to the damage if he knew the circumstances.
When they returned the puppy to the owner who left it, the police and an RSPCA representative issued him an official warning.
“At the end of the day, RSPCA advises people not to leave their dog in the car. It can be from 20 degrees outside, but it can also be up to 38-40 degrees [Celsius] in the car.”
Be careful with your pets and if you notice a closed dog in a car at high temperatures, react immediately!
