I surfed the Web for devices that alarm when the interior of a car gets dangerously hot, but was not successful in finding a vendor through search engines. However, such a vendor site was posted on another forum: (fyi)
My surfing did find that at least one auto maker seems to also be addressing this issue for the general public (about time!)
GM site:
"On April 26, 2001, GM announced that it will be developing a system that will actually detect an infant in a closed vehicle through a very sensitive motion detector built into the vehicle's headliner. This sensor will see movement as small as a sleeping baby's breathing, and sound an alarm if the interior temperature rises to unsafe levels. As an added benefit, this system will also work for pets that are left in a dangerously hot car. The details of this system are still in the developmental stages, but it is expected that GM will have a product available by 2004."
(the bolding is mine...)
In hot weather you should always judge carefully whether or not to take your dog out. My dog is black. Even though his ears and body are clipped very short in the summer, he has always suffered badly from the heat. He also loves the car, but during hot weather I don't take him on my errands, much to his disappointment. He doesn't exercise between 12noon and about 5 or 6 pm in hot weather. We also have frequent HHH (Hot Hazy and Humid) days during the summer in Southern Ontario. If the local news channels indicate a smog advisory we don't go out either. It can be 85 here and with the Humidex reading get over 100. If people are advised to stay indoors and not exercise I don't expect my dog to do anything either. In fact, he's smarter than most people. He'll poke his head outdoors and then back up and give me a look that says "Are you nuts? I'm staying in the air conditioning!". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Well, it's that time of year - It was just on the news tonight that some idiot took his dog jogging with the bike(and on pavement too!) yesterday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The temperature was 35 degrees Celcius and there was a Humidex warning and an air quality warning. Several passers by in cars noticed the dog in distress and called the SPCA and police but by the time they got there the dog had died. Some people just are STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!
