Dog Rescued From Vehicle In Which Temperature Nearly Doubled
LAKEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) - Lakewood police took to Twitter to warn pet owners as mercury levels rise in Colorado.
Police shared a photo of a temperature taken from inside a vehicle on Saturday. They say someone heard a dog barking inside and called police.
The outside temperature was around 77 degrees - but the heat nearly doubled inside the car.
Fortunately, the dog is okay.
Last August, it became state law for a person to be protected if they break a vehicle window to save a pet or a child in a hot car.
That person must first try to find the owner and call law enforcement before breaking the window.
