According to the ASPCA website:
"Automobile temperatures can very quickly rise to dangerous levels; the average temperature increase in a parked car is 40 degrees, and the majority of this increase occurs in the first 15 to 30 minutes," says Dr. Louise Murray, Vice President of ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. When it’s 80 degrees outside, your car will be a staggering 114 degrees after 30 minutes!
IF YOU SEE A DOG (OR A CHILD) LEFT ALONE IN A HOT CAR:
DO THE RIGHT THING! GET INVOLVED! CALL 911!
14 states (AZ, CA, IL, ME, MD, MN, NV, NH, NJ, NY, ND, SD, VT, and WV) have statutes that specifically prohibit leaving an animal in confined vehicle under conditions that pose a threat to the life of said animal.
