The problem is never with the intelligent people that frequent our forum. Obviously when it's not too hot, or the car is shaded, or you can use the common sense god gave you - nothing will happen to your dog
The problem is that there are too many thoughtless (and just plain old stupid) - people out there and nobody needs a test to get a dog. So every year dogs die.
These types of stories will continue to get shared...and hopefully incidents like these will decline because of this sharing.
(I do agree though - the vet test could have been more compelling - and it was too long)
