When people leave their pets in vehicles on scorching hot days, it can be a sign of trouble.
The heat not only makes the wait unbearable, but can lead to asphyxiation.

Director of the Second Chance Pet Network Rebecca Tibbs says animals with light colored fur can burn just as easily as people with fair skin.
Some tips when thinking of your pet are to keep them at home if you go out, and to make sure there is some shade outside.
