A smart dog knew he needed to get out of the car during the recent heat wave. We've been writing posts and putting up photos about how to keep dogs cool and also advising people to never leave dogs or cats in cars in the heat (or cold), but this is a first time we've ever written up this kind of a story.
Last week, we wrote about the Maltese that died in a van when its owner went swimming. Max is an exception to that sad story, according to television station WFMZ.
Donna Gardner of Allentown, Pa., was running errands recently. She says she doesn't know what made her forget Max was with her but when she went home, she left him in the car. She didn't know it until an hour later when she heard the car horn. Max was thumping it. At first she didn't see anything in the car, and went back to cleaning.
Then the horn honked again, and she looked outside and saw Max sitting in the driver's seat. She took him out of the car, cooled him down with wet rags, gave him water and called the vet. Max, an 11-year-old chocolate Labrador, is fine. His family is lucky.
If you have an active dog who doesn't want to slow down in the summer, check out this story about vests and collars you can buy for your pet to help keep them cool.
