Yes, it was horrible. They just wanted to go for a stroll in the park - they didn't think that the heat advisory applied to 'strolls'.

It's easy enough to avoid. If it's too hot for you to want to run around, it is for your dog too. And if you don't feel that you could get cool quick if need be (i.e. jump in the water) then your dog can't either.

And remember - dogs aren't interested in tanning - so leave them at home for that as well. ;)
