My post about dogs and heat has been one of the most read posts on my blog. Today I heard about a neat product that goes with that post.

There is a temperature monitor and alarm you can put in your car, truck or motorhome that will cause the horn to blow if temperature is over or under a certain range. It is made by Safe Home Products. It isn’t cheap but in all of these cases it could have saved the dogs involved.

In a further update, yet another dog has died in a hot car — this one belonged to the Richmond, VA SPCA CEO: View article.
My sympathies go out to her as apparently this occurred due to an unfortunate lack of communication between her and her husband, who had put the dog in her car without telling her, but one has to wonder if this had been a CEO of another type of business who left their dog in a car, wouldn’t charges be pressed and the public be up in arms? Instead the head of the HSUS is defending her saying this incident can help raise public awareness.
