Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

2.Temperatures inside a parked car even with windows open and in shade can rapidly reach very dangerous levels even on relatively mild summer day.
3. A dog’s normal body temperature is about 39C ( 102 F) Because of limited ability to sweat even a short time in a hot environment can be life threatening
4. A dog can withstand a body temperature of 41 C ( 106F) for only a very short time before suffering irreparable brain damage or even death.
