If you think driving in your used, held together by duct tape on some parts car is uncomfortable to drive without air conditioning, just imagine what it’s like for those who can’t sweat.

Baseball Hall of Fame star George Brett is posing in an ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to remind pet owners never to leave a dog in a parked (or even idling) car during the summer’s heat.

“Summer is here and family activities are in full swing. Make sure that your entire home team is protected from the heat,” says Brett in the video.

A mild 78 degree temperature can feel like 90 degrees inside a car. And that feeling can rise to 160 degrees in several minutes, even with a window rolled down. In as little as 15 minutes, a pet could suffer stroke, brain damage and death.

“Cover your bases,” Brett says. “If you know that you’ll be out and about, leave your dog at home, indoors where it’s safe. If it’s too warm for us to sit in a parked car, then it’s definitely too hot for Spot.”
