RSPCA officer Chris O’Brien locked himself in his car on a hot summer day to show just how bad conditions can get for pets left locked in cars.
He spent 26 minutes in the vehicle - less time than some shopping trips - as temperatures soared from 23°C to 57°C.
Leaving a dog in a locked car can be fatal.
