DOG DIES - A dog died Tuesday afternoon after being left in a hot car for over an hour in Salt Lake City, officials report.
Salt Lake County Animal Services said that at 3:30 Tuesday afternoon, an Animal Control Officer responded to a call that a dog was in distress in a car near 700 S. 900 W.
Officials said the dog was convulsing and unresponsive when it was pulled from the car. Despite efforts to cool the dog off and administer first aid, the dog stopped breathing and died just moments later. Salt Lake County Animal Services reminded pet owners to never leave dogs in a hot car unattended. They report that their team responds to about 500 calls a year for animals left in hot cars.
If you see a dog in a parked car that is excessively panting, non-responsive or drooling, call 911. Then take a photo of the pet and the license plate to give to Animal Control Officers.
