For God's sake, keep your dogs home when it is over 100 degrees out
Decided to go for a ride today even though it is hot here in Maryland. Passed a guy biking with a dog running behind him who was clearly panting and not happy. Thought to myself what an idiot but not much beyond that. About 5 minutes later I came across this girl clearly suffering from heat exhaustion. I gave her some water but she physically couldn't get up. It was impractical for me to carry her out due to how far out she was.
Called animal control and the park rangers whom I met at the trail head. They were able to get to her before anything worse happened. The owner got a hold of me who was the guy earlier on the bike, but he has to deal with animal control before getting his dog back. For God's sake use some common sense when bringing your dog out biking, hiking, running, or even letting them outside when the weather is hotter then hell.
