Will the police never learn?

[DW Team]

Just seen this http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3661872/Police-dogs-bake-to-death-in-car.html. For goodness sake you would have thought they would have learnt something after the two Nottinghamshire dogs. I would not think of taking my long haired shepherd anywhere to leave in a parked car shade or not. It is over 30 here today. RIP pore dogs what a horrid way to go.

Clearly not!!!

As far as i'm concerned dogs shouldn't be left in a car full stop weather the windows are down and left in the shade or not.....Would you have sat in a car yesterday with your big yard coat on with the windows down and in the shade....NO....Dogs may have lived longer but not by much....

DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS PEOPLE>>>>

Oh stupid bloody idiot. I wouldn't leave my dogs in the car for 5 mins with all the windows down in this heat. Hope he is sacked.

WTF, I just seen this on the news, Im so angry, what hope is there to send out messages to stop the whole "leaving dogs in cars on hot day" and the god damn police go and do it not once but twice (that we know of)
I just thought yesterday, "imagine how horrendous it would be, being locked in my car, in this heat" and it was late afternoon and my windows wide open whilst driving" it's not acceptible at all, NO EXCUSE!!

I will not even walk my dogs in this weather let alone leave them in the friggin car FFS.

Beyond belief!! what kind of idiots are being taken on as dog handlers?? poor poor dogs

 

[prosefullstop]

Awful Luckily my car is equipped with excellent a/c, otherwise I wouldn't even drive my dogs anywhere in extreme heat.

We're now up to 80s and 90s in NY and our walks are strictly dawn and dusk affairs. Right now Stella and Prince are lazing under ceiling fans on the porch, and I couldn't even fathom nudging them out of the shade, let alone leaving them in a parked van.

Poor, poor Shepherds

Just a warning to you all to avoid the Daily Mail article on this, there's a very distressing picture with no warning.

Awful.

Can't believe this has happened again

We did train yesterday, but all cars were in shade/open doors/windows/sun deflectors on/sheets over cages/water in cages and plenty of hosepipe fun when they were out.

However I don't think it was as hot here yesterday, although I did get a crispy face

Unfortunately already seen that picture BC.

Some idiots leave kids in the car whilst they pop into the supermarket.
