Brilliant response from that police officer, and most likely did save the dog's life.
I am very glad to hear that the police encourage people to phone 911 and treat it as an emergency if they see a dog locked in a hot car. It is also good to hear security guards were checking cars entering the parking area to see if pets were inside! High five for them!
It is still surprising that some people are not fully aware of the danger though. And according to one comment -it was okay because the windows were open a little. Cracked windows, or even windows open a couple of inches or so are no help at all considering the temperature inside a car on a 24C day can reach 48C!
