@dike He only needs one person, one advocate who will fight for him, and that's you. Keep fighting for your boy. Sending lots of love.

@ewb1948 Do some research on brachycephalic dogs. Older dogs, or dogs with medical conditions, can also be sensitive to overheating. Edit: Forgot to add breeds adapted for colder climates, like huskies and Saint Bernards, don't handle heat well either.
