Confused.com conducted a social experiment in which they watched hundreds of people ignoring the distressed cries of an overheating dog left in a car in frighteningly high temperatures.

Please never leave your dog (or child!) in a car on a hot day. Temperatures can rise to life-threatening levels extremely quickly and heat stroke can kill.
