ALT “It boggles my mind that we continue to receive calls for service related to animals left in hot vehicles,” says District 8 Acting Insp. Scott Neilson of the Calgary Police Service. “It should be common sense that leaving an animal in a hot vehicle is irresponsible and can have serious consequences, including death and charges, like what has happened in Lucky’s case. Lucky’s death was an avoidable tragedy, and I’m asking Calgarians to think of her the next time they consider leaving an animal inside of a car on a warm or hot day, even for a short period.”

ALT Calgary Humane Society Director of Enforcement and Vice Executive Director Brad Nichols says: “Leave your dog at home - there are no excuses for leaving an animal unattended in a vehicle in hot weather. Dogs do not regulate body temperature like humans; they don’t sweat and are so much more susceptible to heat-related injury.” “What are you willing to lose? A windshield? A pet? Money to pay a fine? Your freedom due to incarceration? It’s all at risk if you decide to leave an animal in a car in the temperatures we are currently experiencing. We shouldn’t be fielding hundreds of these types of calls every summer. For the animal’s sake, if you see something, say something. You may be the only one advocating for that suffering animal.”

ALT The Calgary Police Service and Calgary Humane Society want to remind Calgarians that the temperature inside a vehicle can rise to dangerous levels in as little as a few minutes. A partially open window does not effectively lower a vehicle’s interior temperature, nor does the availability of water. Never leave an animal unattended inside a vehicle on a warm or hot day, even for a short time – they are safest at home.
