2/2 Officers were in that car for thirty seconds and were struggling to breathe so goodness knows what these poor animals were going through. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG IN A HOT CAR ON A SUNNY DAY! How many warnings do you need? @RSPCAYORK thank you for your prompt attendance. #PC1810 pic.twitter.com/SgXjAIzZEz

Dogs Die in Hot Cars

The police referred the incident to the RSPCA, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A representative of the RSPCA explained, “The dogs were taken to the vets for treatment for heat exhaustion and now remain in RSPCA care.”

The RSPCA continues to spread the word about the dangers of leaving your pet inside a car while you run errands. Their website has many resources and infographics explaining that a car can become “as hot as an oven very quickly” and temperatures can almost double in no time.

Justice Will Be Served

Thankfully, an investigation has been opened, and the owners will be prosecuted.

If you think someone you know is unaware of the danger of a hot car, spread the word, you could just save a pet’s life!
