Police raced to a car park after a dog was left locked in a vehicle today (Sunday).

An officer was called to the scene in Newlands Road, Corsham, at around midday.

A member of the public had discovered a dog left inside a vehicle in the blazing sunshine.

The owner returned while the officer was in attendance and it’s believed that words of advice were given to them about the safety of dogs in hot cars.

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “When the weather is hot outside, the temperature in a closed parked car is even hotter.

“Even when the outside temperature is just 20 degrees Celsius, the temperature inside of a closed car in the sun can rise to 45 degrees Celsius or even more in a matter of minutes.

“Dogs regulate their body temperatures by panting, and in a small enclosed space such as a car, a panting dog will simply not be able to get enough fresh air to keep their body temperature at a safe level.

“Dogs can become dangerously overheated inside of a vehicle (or a shed or any other enclosed space) within just a few minutes, potentially leading to dehydration, sunstroke, and even death.”
