Woman LOCKS herself in scorching car to WARN pet owners not to do the same

A BRAVE woman trapped herself in a SCORCHING hot car to try and raise awareness of how dogs can suffer when left in the same situation by careless owners.

Despite the warnings, dogs are still being left in hot cars around the country.

And in the current heatwave, it’s even more important to raise awareness to stop this foolish act from happening.

The simple truth is that dogs can die when left in hot cars, and the RSPCA constantly warn pet owners of the dangers of doing this.

They outline how things can become serious very quickly, warning: “Many people still believe that it’s ok to leave a dog in a car on a warm day if the windows are left open or they’re parked in the shade, but the truth is, it’s still a very dangerous situation for the dog.”

So this shocking footage — filmed by one brave young woman recently — shows just how shocking things can get when you lock yourself in a car.

With a temperature monitor in hand she parks up and turns her air-con off, recreating a situation that dogs left alone can face.

She monitors the situation while talking through the reasons why she is taking such drastic action. 

As she talks to the camera about how important it is not to leave your dog in the car, she becomes distressed and starts to find it difficult to finish her sentence.

The woman becomes unbearably hot as the temperatures reach over 40 C in the car

Clearly extremely uncomfortable, she even appears to be struggling to breath properly.

Less than two minuted into the video, the temperature soars to a blistering 39.4C and it quickly becomes clear that the situation is unbearable.

After around ten minutes, the temperature is over 40C and she is forced to  end the torture, but her stunt has graphically highlighted the plight of dogs stuck in the same situation. 

This comes after Express.co.uk shared the shocking recent rescue missions across Britain after careless pet owners left their dogs in sweltering cars.

RSPCA advice is to NEVER leave your dog alone in a car

Despite annual warnings over the dangers of leaving pets in vehicles, emergency services have been scrambled to more than 100 incidents, including one where three dogs died.

Police and the RSPCA attended two incidents in Southport, Liverpool, in the last 48 hours after dogs were abandoned in vehicles.

In both cases officers broke into the cars to rescue the pets. 

On Tuesday evening officers found a greyhound in a parked car at the rear of the Bold Hotel, suffering from heat exhaustion.
