One more “Peoples of the North, hear my plea” for the Netherlands and friends today:

If you leave your child or dog in the car today while you run into the grocery store, they will seriously actually literally be dead by the time you get back.

When I lived in Virginia, they put signs up in grocery store parking lots with dog icons to remind you of this. It only takes a few minutes of a windows-closed car parked in direct heatwave sunlight to kill a toddler or a dog.

Since such heat rarely happens here, I expect a lot of people don’t realize just how serious this is.
