Here in Bakersfield it get over 100 deg in the summer for several days at a time. Everyone here watches for kids and dogs in closed cars, and it hits the news every few days...stupid people leaving kids and dogs to DIE in hot cars. It is a jail offense here, and kids have been taken away from parents for it. We almost broke out a window a couple of weeks ago, but while we were looking around, the owner came out, and looked shamefaced when he noticed we were standing there waiting. The window was down a little, but the dog was still overheated.
