Heat Stress: A Growing Concern for Canines©wikimedia
As the planet warms, dogs face an increased risk of heat stress, which can have dire consequences for their health. Unlike humans, dogs do not have sweat glands all over their bodies; they primarily cool themselves through panting.

This makes them more susceptible to overheating, especially during heatwaves. A study published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine highlights a rise in heat-related illnesses in dogs, particularly during hotter months.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

There you go!  I wasn't aware there were norms for dogs on panting and drooling. :shrug:

Actually there are, but dogs also adapt to heat just like humans, and just like humans if you lock them in a car on a hot die they will suffer and possibly die🤷🏼‍♂️

But what about cats, and Opossums, raccoons, birds, etc., are they all gonna wait to suffer until after the dogs do, or is it just that the author thinks will tug at peoples hearts more?
