# For dog breeders, Heat is the name of an extensive network campaign that began this morning (Sunday) and is responsible for distributing quite a few veterinarians and thousands of dogs. His goal is to raise awareness of running and sporting activities with beloved pets for the start of summer, and the heavy heat that comes with it.

The campaign was initiated by the dog high school Guy, who says: I keep seeing people running their dogs on electric scooters and bicycles in the heat, on a boiling sidewalk and their dogs gasping and looking suffering. Many also try to pull in the direction of the shadow. There are even some that run them on the road next to cars that are at all boiling and dangerous. "

"There is a very low awareness of this issue in the country," continues High School. "People don't understand how a dog's body cooling mechanism works and assume that if they can stay in the sun, so can their dogs. Most dogs die of heatstroke because of people's ignorance and not for other reasons. Just have to raise awareness and I hope to harness veterinarians too."

In a post published by a high school and many other surfers, more points were raised, among other things, about dealing with dogs in the summer, about regular walks with them, a suitable haircut and ways to understand when the dog is feeling tired and heat exhausted to save him from heatstroke that can sometimes lead to death.
