Last week was a rough one for Lila van der Woof, 5, of Eugene, Oregon.
After spending just twenty minutes outside last Wednesday—and in a wading pool, of all places—she started acting lethargic and disoriented. Normally a playful and affectionate English Sheepdog, Lila refused to eat, and seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time staring at the wall. The next day at the vet, she was diagnosed with heat stroke, one of the furrier victims of the severe heat wave that just swept through the Pacific Northwest.
