TUCSON, Ariz. — A dangerously hot stretch of weather has many animal advocates across Tucson concerned.
With temperatures over 100 degrees, I'm looking at ways to keep your dog's paws safe. At about 9:30 a.m., it was around 90 degrees outside and a temperature gun marked the pavement temperature at Udall Park at 118 degrees. Not taking care of your pet in this heat can land you in legal trouble. Pima County can issue a citation for animal cruelty if a dog's paws are burned."If you wanna check the temperature of the asphalt or sidewalk," Cotton said."Put the back of your hand on the ground and hold it for seven seconds and if you can handle it and it's not hurting you, then it's safe for your dog.
