You hear the warning every summer, don’t leave your dog in a hot car. But the Illinois State Police have a new warning about trying to rescue those hot dogs: don’t break into a car to save it.

Illinois State Police Master Sergeant Jason Bradley said this is the time of years when people get very concerned about animals left inside cars.

Bradley said leaving a dog in a hot car can be a crime. But it is absolutely a crime for someone to break a car’s window, regardless of why.
