You did the right thing!! I would have called 9-1-1 with no hesitation and would have sat there until the police got there!
I was recently at a dog show in Dallas and it was HOT and we came to the show and we saw a mastiff in the bath tub and they were having to put him in ice and had an IV running and getting the car ready to transport this dog to the vet because it was left in the car with the A/C running and the car quit running and this dog had a body temp of 108!! What do people think leaving an animal in the car on a hot sunny day? It broke my heart to see this gorgeous animal this way and was very distrubing. Many handlers and others were trying helping! I and my friends stood there crying knowing this poor animal probably wouldn't make it! We never found out but I'm sure this poor dog didn't make it and I still think about him :*(
Please let this be enlightening to NEVER second guess calling 9-1-1 for any animal left in a car!
