A puppy was saved from a heat stroke which could have been fatal, Wednesday morning, in Gatineau.

The SCPA has moved quickly to retrieve the Bouvier crossbreed that is barely three months old, which had been left outside in this oppressive heat. The animal was caught in time, and doing well.

The owner, who received a ticket, decided to give his dog to the SPCA, who wants to remind that it is important that your animals avoid this kind of heat and above all never leave them in the car.
