WHAT should you do if you see a dog locked in a parked car on a sweltering summer's day? North Vancouver-based Dogsafe Canine First Aid has launched a new resource to help residents decide what action to take. The Dog in Hot Car Responder Checklist includes a fill-in-theblanks checklist starting with assessing the dog to attempts to locate owner to calling police to entering a vehicle with force.
