If you leave your pup outdoors, whether you are there or not, he or she could suffer the effects of too much heat faster than a human. Keep your dog inside where it can stay cool. If you must take your dog out into the heat, bring along a spray bottle to cool him/her down, make sure you have plenty of water, and try to stay in the shade when possible.

Police dogs prove themselves every day in public safety and law enforcement. These skilled, highly trained dogs are professionals in every sense of the word, risking their lives to help make our communities safer.
