After a call for a dog in a hot car yesterday, Oak Bay Police took to Twitter today using a model dog.

Oak Bay Police were called July 18 around 4 p.m. to the 500 block of Beach Drive.

B次元官网网址淎 dog was left in a locked and otherwise unoccupied vehicle and the dog appeared to be in some distress,B次元官网网址� said Oak Bay Deputy Chief Ray Bernoties, adding the owners arrived before the cops did.

B次元官网网址淭he dog was fine ultimately and the people were warned,B次元官网网址� Bernoties said. B次元官网网址淭his was likely inappropriate oversight rather than malicious intent but that doesnB次元官网网址檛 protect the dog.

Cst Molly back from a tough call. Someone left a dog in a hot car. Sorry she had to see that. Not cool.

B次元官网网址淲e do get these calls from time to time especially in areas near beaches where dogs are not permitted,B次元官网网址� Bernoties said.

With that in mind, staff called on an employeeB次元官网网址檚 dog, Molly, to model for a mindful Twitter photo. They dolled her up in Oak Bay Police Department gear in a bid to draw attention to the cause.

B次元官网网址淭he intent of our Tweet was to ensure continued awareness on this issue,B次元官网网址� Bernoties said. B次元官网网址淚f you try to get a little creative with social media sometimes you create awareness. ThatB次元官网网址檚 the goal.B次元官网网址�
