During a recent heat wave, 11-year-old Labrador Max from Pennsylvania, USA was unintentionally left in the car by his human caregiver after going with her on errands.

About an hour later, she heard a car horn going off, as she went but it wasn’t until her second trip outside that she saw Max, who had managed to climb into the driver’s seat of the car and was sounding the horn by pressing it with his front paw.

Once back inside the family home, Max was quickly cooled with wet cloths as well as water, then rushed to the veterinarian who determined that he was weak but would be okay.

Max’s caregiver expressed remorse, saying that such a mistake would never happen again. Animal experts caution that dogs should never be left inside vehicles on warm days, with the Humane Society of the United States advising the following: “During warm weather… pets who are left in hot cars even briefly can suffer from heat exhaustion, heat stroke, brain damage, and can even die… Play it safe by leaving your pet cool and refreshed at home while you're on the road.”

Intelligent Max, we applaud your quick-thinking actions, and what a relief that you are safe and well with your family! May your close call help remind us all to be aware of our cherished animal companions’ vulnerability to the heat and take caring precautions accordingly.
