Just saw this tweet of a woman who let her dog out alone into this heat and the poor thing died.

She claims he 'escaped' and then clarifies that they have a dog door and didn't shut it in the heat. Not really a Houdini act if you leave the bloody door open!

AIBU to think these people should be investigated for neglect/animal abuse? We all knew it would be hot this week and any responsible pet owner should make sure their animals are safe.
