How can people ignore your instructions so completely and cruelly? It's particularly awful that they kept a blog for the new dog, but couldn't bother to pay attention to the heat issue.

These are things everyone should be aware of. I read Styxie's story and cried. These things are preventable with a bit of forethought. Our pets depend on us to keep them safe and well.

Dogs and cats can suffer heatstroke just as easily inside of a home as well as outdoors. Unfortunately, a dog we were fostering passed away from heat stroke 4 days after his adoption - his story is here (his last 4 days were pieced together from a blog his new owners kept of his time with them): http://www.wigglebums.com/cblog/ RIP, Styxie...you'll never be forgotten, and I hope your story saves a dog/cat somewhere...
