Do Gooders need to recognize that dogs have a higher body temp than humans.

Leaving a dog in a car (with free water) where the interior temp is below 100 deg F will not kill the dog.

On a hot summer day temperature inside a car can be much higher than the outside temperature.

A higher body temperature has nothing to do with survivability in a hot car. It’s all about the air and even a lower-temperature day can cause stifling heat if the humidity is high.

The Chicago Tribune reports that on an 85-degree day, the dashboard can heat up to 170 degrees in a mere 15 minutes.

Does stupid hurt?
