Hot Cars A Danger to Children and Pets
A good Samaritan this week spotted two dogs left in a hot car and quickly alerted the Key West Police Department. Bicycle Officers Scott Standerwick and Frank Betz arrived and immediately called the Florida Keys SPCA and Arnold’s Towing to rescue the distressed dogs. Luckily, the family of tourists returned, frantic about their pets and relieved to find them rescued.
Please remember: NEVER leave your pets or children in a hot car. Even with a cracked window, interior temperatures skyrocket within minutes. And don’t trust leaving the air conditioning running. It can fail and the results can be deadly.
