NORTHWOODS - Police in Rhinelander get many calls about dogs locked in hot cars every summer. Many of the calls come from people who find the car and don't know how to help the animal.
Police say the best strategy is to read the situation. Sometimes even if the windows are rolled up, the air conditioner inside the car may be on.
"We just had a lady do that [Wednesday]," said Sgt. Michael Allard of the Rhinelander Police Department. "Using her car starter, she left the car running with the air conditioner on and the windows down just to make sure the dogs were okay."
