We parked next to this flashy green car outside the swim/gym centre where my son has swimming lessons, and he noted a dog in the car. It's forecast to be 24 degrees today, but yesterday (which was cooler) my car was very hot after being in the sun for an hour or so. The centre staff found the guy who came and checked on the dog, and he then went back in to finish his workout. Apparently he does it all the time and they can't call the police until it's 28 degrees outside. The centre staff are doing routine checks on the little dog now.

    They don’t need to wait until it’s 28c to call the police.

    Btw VicPol will ALWAYS attend to dogs locked in vehicles.

  2. The same thing happened at my gym, I was parked between two cars both with dogs inside and I was like ?! Staff said the same thing, the only law is if it’s above 28C or something for over 20mins (?). Both dogs were still there in the cars by the time I left.

    Just call 000. Fire brigade or cops will come get it out and charge the owner. 28c is not a thing.

  4. Words fail me on particular ( apparent ) animal lovers . These poor animals shouldn’t be locked or left in a vehicle at any temperature or for any reason

    Yeah even winter sun can have bite to it. A couple of months ago I was sitting in front my window with the blinds up and the back of my head got really hot. It wouldn’t have been more than 15/16 degrees.
