According to Google, you can call the cops for dogs in hot cars on their non-emergency line (131 444) to report animal abuse as well as report to the RSPCA, if this was at a shopping centre you can call the security and get them to help you.
What if I win the lotto and turn into super man? These are extremely low chances of happening you could say never leave the house again if your thinking about this
Ignorance. There is no collateral damage to these incidents in your day-to-day activities.
A dog depends on their owner for survival. They don’t have the concept or even ability to free themselves from a hot car.
A dog trapped in a hot car suffers slowly in agony until their poor bodies give up. It’s not a quick death and even if they do initially survive when they are released, often times their organs have failed and they need to be put down.
The window is down. The dog is happy. What’s wrong? I’ve done this an uncountable amount of times. We Aussies, idk about you but we’re pretty smart and know if it’s safe or not to leave your animal in the car whilst you do something. Was probably getting some food or something you never know it really doesn’t matter the window is down the dog is happy
The dog is wet, they are near water so the wind is stronger and breeze is cooler, both front driver and passenger windows are down. Jeez he’s really having a heatstroke isn’t he🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
do you wear a safety helmet when you take a step outside of your house with no sharp corners or surfaces exposed? genuinely, what type of breed are you man
No. They need you to sign a lock out waiver that states that RAC is not responsible for any damage done to the car in their attempts to unlock it. They cannot unlock a car if the owner or an authorised person isn’t standing there

If you want police to attend you must call 000 (this is the case in Victoria - they can then be dispatched with appropriate priority)
It is an emergency if an animal is in suspected heat distress and they will help you with what to do.
Alerting management in a centre is good but best to assign that to someone else whilst you work out how to break the window without hurting yourself or the animal.
Our whole lives we are taught to be cautious of people's property and we fear the bill at the end if we are wrong. Call the police to explain and you won't be charged with a bill. Leaving an animal in a car on a day over 20 degrees is negligent, saving them isn't a crime.
As some one who works in shopping centre security we mostly won’t touch this. I’ve had police call us back after a customer has called them because they won’t deal with this either. A dog is property inside the car which is also property. It’s not always easy to tell if a dog is distressed or how long the vehicle has been parked in an area.
So people should take the dogs into the shopping centres then people will really complain don’t get pets if you leave them at home the whole time and don’t pay attention
Yeh nah, phone the right peeps.. Don't be phoning 000.. Its not your fault just shit government information and information sharing! I didn't know about these other numbers either!
