In this classic episode from our Humane Roundup days, we tackled a life-saving topic that never goes out of season: the dangers of leaving dogs in hot cars. With temperatures rising and summer in full swing, we revisited the heartbreaking realities and legal consequences of heatstroke in pets. You'll hear real-life stories, expert advice, and practical tips on what to do if you see an animal in distress. This is one of those conversations that could literally save a life—so whether you’re a seasoned advocate or new to animal welfare, this episode is worth the rewind.

Stay cool, stay alert, and never leave your pet behind.
