- A Bradenton Police officer smashed a window and rescued a dog from a hot vehicle.
- The dog's owner was located, however, the dog remains in the custody of animal services while the investigation continues.
- We are experiencing record-breaking temperatures this time of year. How long is it OK to leave your pet in a car during the summer months? The answer is zero minutes. Experts say even one minute is too long.
- The American Veterinary Medical Association estimates that if the outside temperature is 95 degrees, it only takes 10 minutes for temperatures inside a car to reach 114 degrees. After one hour, temperatures would reach the 138-degree mark.
The American Kennel Club says a parked vehicle with a slightly opened window heats up at nearly the same rate as a vehicle with windows rolled up completely.
