Durham police warn not to leave animals in hot cars after dog was put down for heat stroke

Police arrested the owner of two dogs after they were left inside a hot vehicle in Oshawa on Sunday. One of the dogs had to be put down at a veterinary clinic due to heat stroke, said Durham Regional Police in a media release on Monday. Police responded to the animal abuse call in Oshawa after the dogs appeared to be in distress from being inside a vehicle "for an extended period of time." The owner has been arrested and charged, said police. "This serves as a reminder of the serious dangers posed to animals left in vehicles during hot weather," said police in the release. Police are asking the public to not leave animals alone in cars, especially with rising temperatures. Even a few minutes in a car can be dangerous, said police.
