SPCA exec's dog dies after being left in hot car

Quote:
RICHMOND, Virginia - An executive for an anti-animal cruelty group says her 16-year-old blind and deaf dog died after she accidentally left him in her hot car for four hours.
Robin Starr, the CEO of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, says she didn't realize "Louie" was in the car until noon. Starr's husband, Ed, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch he put the dog in her car as she got ready for work Aug. 19. She often took the dog to work with her.
Robin Starr took the dog to two clinics, but he died of kidney failure

?? It is not my place to judge people for what they do, but it is so hard to believe that anyone wouldn't know that someone or something is in their vehicle.
But then again, I've heard of people saying they forgot someone was in their vehicle.

A womens little girl died in extreme heat of her car when she went to work. She forgot that her daughter was in the car.
I guess it can really , really happen to people , due to anxiety, or too much on their mind. That is why I won't judge , because someday it might happen to me.
But for a dog? Not knowing the dog was in her car? When you get into your vehicle, you see the seats.....! Oh well!

It is sad. Severe dehydration shut the kidneys down.

The husband put the dog in the car and probably did not tell his wife.

A blind and deaf dog would most likely be a quiet animal.

I had a blind cat in the past and he listened to meow echoes at times.
