While the execution of this video might be lighthearted and even a bit silly, the subject matter is anything but. You’ve been hearing about many dogs being left in boiling hot cars and trucks all summer long — and sadly, many of those dogs aren’t saved in time.
The Austin Police Department is doing their part to educate the public on how they keep their K-9 Unit safe, but the power of protecting our furry friends is very much in our own hands.
That’s precisely why the team over at Paws & Co. Adoptions partnered with local high school students to rewrite the popular Nelly song “Hot in Herre.” They want to raise awareness about this very real issue!
What do they want dog owners to know?
“Even a 60-degree day in a car can be deadly for dogs because they aren't able to sweat to cool themselves down like people can… Even if you're only gone for five minutes and leave the windows cracked, any amount of time is too long!”
Sometimes, all it takes is a little fun in order to start the discussion about dog safety. This reminds me of another recent PSA video about the same thing!
While many dogs appear to be trapped behind glass in this music video, don’t worry — they weren’t harmed during filming. You’ll know what I mean if you watch to the very end!
