Pets shouldn't be left outside in the sweltering heat, either. Even animals need to stay hydrated and be safe from harsh sunlight.

My inlaws neighbors (they live in a duplex) have this beagle that they bought and stuck inside a kennel outside. I swear I have NEVER seen this dog outside the thing. Granted it's a large structure and he has plenty of room to run around but why buy a dog if you're just going to stick it outside and not interact with it?

People can be quite horrible when it comes to dogs. There was a beagle that got hit by a car several months back not too far from a farm-house mom and I would pass on the way to and from town. Nobody moved it. Nobody got it help. It was dead when we found it and we're pretty sure it belonged to the people who lived in that house. Those people would drive past their dead dog and not move him. Finally, my mom stepped in and moved the poor thing somewhere his body wouldn't get run over again. sad

Another time, some people tried to abandon their dog near our house. I felt bad for it. I'm glad the people changed their minds.

I live on the prairies, in summer it can get to about +40 including the humidity. (90F)
About three years ago when I still lived with my parents, it was a particularly hot and humid day. My neighbor across the street put her giant black lab outside, I thought it was pretty weird considering how bloody hot it was, but figured she just let him out to pee and went out. I mentioned my concern to my mother, and she said she would keep an eye on the dog. A get home a few hours later, and I hear this dog barking, look and see that this poor dog is still outside. It's been about four/five hours now. I said ******** this, and made my way over to my neighbors house. I went into the backyard, and the dog was a little hesitant but wouldn't even get up to come and bark at me because he was so ******** hot. I let him sniff me and gave him a scratch on the head. When I touched him he was so hot it was heartbreaking.
Thankfully I brought a Giant ice cream pail of ice water with me and he went to town.
I went back to the front and knocked on the door so ******** loud the neighbors beside her could probably hear. Lady answered and I bitched her out for forgetting about her dog, saying that I noticed the poor dog outside all day and she should be ashamed of herself. blah blah blah ect ect, threatened to call the Humane Society. Basically ripped her a new one. She didn't even seem to care she just said "Oh, I must have forgotten he was out there."
Well no kidding, dipshit. scream

Moral of the story, people need to take better care of their pets.
And the lady is more careful now. I spoke with a few of my neighbors and if she does it again we're calling the humane society.
This happened about three years ago, and she still has the dog but nothing like that has happened since. cool

But huskies can't freeze, they put one in a pool of liquid nitrogen for an hour and it didn't even get cold.
