Dogs (like humans) have survived for thousands of years without air conditioning. Open some windows.
As a species, yes. As individuals, frequently not. Animals and humans perish every summer in hot buildings, hot vehicles, and just in the hot sun.
As a police officer I can tell you that heat waves always mean one thing... death investigations. Lots of them.
Many dogs, bred by humans for their appearance and other traits, have heavy coats, short noses and other impediments to cooling or otherwise managing in hot weather.
