Dear Editor, 

Dog Safety in the Heat

For those who leave their dogs in the bed of your pick-up, when the temps reach 90 to over 100 degrees, I want you to take off your shoes and stand bare-footed in the bed of the truck.

Just because your dog has pads on their feet does not mean they protect the dog from burning their feet. Not to mention the extreme heat from the sun causing a heat stroke.

And for the lady sitting in the white pick-up on Wednesday 8/10 with the AC running in Brookshire’s parking lot while your dog suffered in the hot bed of the pick-up; shame on you!
