I am appalled and upset at the way dog owners treat their dogs and leave them in hot places such as cars.

As the RSPCA keeps saying time and time again, dogs die in hot cars. It seems owners still need to learn that leaving your dog in soaring temperatures can result in the poor animal dying.

Try sitting in a car with a fur coat on when the sun is beating down.
