💨 Abstract

Loudoun County Animal Services warns about the dangers of leaving animals in cars, as two dogs died after being left in a hot vehicle. The owner, Manuel Ovando, faces up to five years in prison. Temperatures inside a car can rapidly exceed 120 degrees in hot weather, even with windows cracked. The public is advised to alert store staff or call authorities if they see animals in unattended cars.
