What They Just Did With An Egg Shows Why You Shouldn’t Leave Your Dog In A Hot Car

Every year when the weather gets hot, dog tragically die when they’re left inside hot cars.

But despite all the warnings we get when summer rolls around, some people just don’t (or refuse to) understand how only a few minutes inside a hot, parked car can mean the difference between life and death for our furry friends. That’s why Imgur user decided to test just how blistering the inside of a car can get on a sunny day.

After cracking an egg and dropping it into a frying pan, they placed it on a car seat and left it there for a short amount of time.

If you ever consider leaving your dog in the car, even just for a minute, please remember this information.

And if you wouldn’t leave your child or sit by yourself in there without air conditioning, don’t do it to your dogs.

WE ARE SHOCKED THAT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO LEAVE THEIR DOGS IN HOT CARS AND DO NOT REALIZE THE DANGER THEY ARE LEAVING THEM IN. These guys were saved yesterday after numerous citizen reports of them being left in a hot vehicle. The owner had a false belief that because the windows were about one third down and the vehicle was parked partially under a tree that the dogs would be ok while he was away – NOT SO. The outside temperature at the time was 91 and it was well over 100 in the car. We appreciate the citizens calling this in and also the young lady who put water in the vehicle for the dogs, when it was clear that none was available, while waiting for the police to arrive. The dog owner was charged with the section below: IT’S AGAINST THE LAW TO LEAVE YOUR PET UNATTENDED IN A HOT CAR *Parking in the shade has minimal effect *Cracking the windows has minimal effect 597.7 Penal Code (Criminal Law) states: “No person shall leave or confine an animal in an unattended motor vehicle under conditions that endanger the health or well-being of an animal due to heat, cold, lack of adequate ventilation, or lack of food or water, or other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause suffering, disability, or death to the animal” 1st offense $100 fine ($500 and/or jail time if the animal suffers injury) Please, leave your pets at home! #police #policedepartment #dontleavedogsinhotcars
