Summer is drawing to a close in the northern hemisphere. However, excessive heat still poses a risk to dogs, especially when they are left unattended in cars.

For that reason (as well as another that will become evident soon), I can’t resist linking to Joanee Greene’s Good Dog Podcast. In particular, I recommend the July 29, 2007 podcast: Keeping Dogs Cool.

I am the guest on that particular podcast. Several months ago when I wrote about the subject of preventing canine overheating it proved to be a remarkably controversial subject. So I was a bit hesitant to be interviewed on the topic. But in the end I decided to go for it. Ms. Greene misspelled my name in the final piece, but that’s water under the bridge.

Click here to listen if you want. If you’re not interested, don’t worry. I’ll be back with new material tomorrow.
