Bridgewater Police is reminding people not to leave animals alone in parked cars. The service reports that over the past few weeks, they have received several calls reporting dogs left in vehicles. Just in the last two days, police have responded to seven calls of dogs left in vehicles. Temperatures inside parked cars can soar very quickly, and dogs don’t sweat traditionally and rely on panting to cool their body. That means being stuck in a parked car is a serious health risk. The best advice is to leave your dog at home in the heat. If you do find an animal in a parked car and it appears to be in distress, try to find the owner by contacting businesses in the area and asking them to announce for the owner to return to their vehicle. If the owner cannot be located, call Bridgewater Police, or if you are outside of town, call the RCMP.
