Dogs die after being left inside hot car on Linwood street during heatwave
Two dogs have died after being left inside a car in Linwood during the heatwave this week. Concerned members of the public spotted the dogs, a Maltese and an Alsatian Lurcher Cross, in the vehicle parked on Kintyre Avenue, in the Renfrewshire town on Thursday, July 10. Police were called at around 1.05pm as it was believed the dogs were in distress due to the hot weather. Officers gained access to the car and rushed the pair to a local vet, where both were sadly found to be dead on arrival. A man, 53, and woman, 48, have now been reported to the Procurator Fiscal following the death of their dogs. With the hot weather set to continue this weekend, police are urging people to follow the Scottish SPCA guidance on dog care in the summer, which can be found here.
