We dont have air conditioning as the temp goes up to over 30C only for a couple of months a year. We then only walk the dogs early morning and late evening and the rest of the time they lay around in the house. With all our doors open we can usually create a draft.
If a dog really gets overheated it can kill it. A friend who worked for animal rescue told us that when they are called to an overheated dog, usually in a town or village, they throw the dog into the nearest water- often the local fountain.
The worst crime a dog owner can commit is to lock the dog in a car, even for a few minutes, when the temps go over 20 C . A dog boils alive and its terrible. The police break windows of cars to try and save dogs, buts its usually too late. I once rushed into a shop to find the owner of a car who had left a baby in the car!!! The child nearly died and the mother was only in the shop (doing Lotto) for a few minutes.
