Poole Police are warning dog owners about the dangers of leaving pets in cars during warm weather, even for a short time. They emphasize that temperatures can rise dramatically, reaching 47 degrees Celsius within an hour, leading to serious harm or death from heatstroke. Owners often mistakenly believe shaded parking or open windows provide safety. If you see a dog in distress in a car, police advise calling 999 immediately. Additionally, observing and reporting details like the car’s make and registration can aid authorities in handling situations where animals are at risk.
