Good friend lost his young Lab to heat stroke yesterday. Well conditioned two-year-old acclimated to summer weather by kenneling outdoors got overheated just running around in excitement while Ric's wife mowed their lawn. When he collapsed they soaked him in a kiddy pool of cool water, and he seemed to be recovering but died the next morning.
Something for all of we dog owners to stay keenly aware of during our upcoming September seasons.
