Police were forced to break the side window of a car to rescue a pet dog trapped inside during the spring sunshine. In April, rising temperatures can cause the inside of a closed car to heat up rapidly — jumping from 22°C to over 45°C in a short time. A car in the sun acts like an oven, posing serious danger to animals locked inside.
In this rescue operation, a police team spotted a dog left inside a parked vehicle with no ventilation. As the interior temperature continued to rise, the officers broke the side window to free the overheated dog. The team then took the dog into their care and left a notice for the owner, informing them that their pet had been rescued.

Some people believe that leaving a dog in a parked car with a window slightly open is safe. However, in warm weather, it’s not recommended — even with ventilation — as the temperature inside can double, risking heatstroke and even death for the animal.
This incident occurred in Clay Cross. The RSPCA urges anyone who sees a dog showing signs of heatstroke inside a vehicle to immediately call 999.
