Heatstroke - By Mike
HEATSTROKE . What I didn’t know might have ( and almost did) kill my dog. What I know now might save someone else’s dog. This is what I want to share.
I knew it would be too hot the day of our scheduled hunt at the club. I knew I would need to carry extra water for Stryker. I knew that dogs don’t feel the breeze; they don’t sweat like we do. They only cool off through their feet and tongue....
