As we make our way through this mid-Summer heatwave in Ocean County, it's important to remember that people aren't the only ones who can become victims of the excessive heat. A dog owner in New Jersey got a rather pointed message from local police about that very subject this week.

According to ABC News, a shopper in Tenafly, Bergen County, spotted an English Bulldog locked in a car with windows rolled up, no air conditioning running, and the owner nowhere to be found on Monday.

The shopper called police while keeping an eye on the locked-in dog, who she says was "in obvious distress".

When police arrived and rescued the dog, they estimated the temperature in the car to be over 100 degrees.
