Winter, an 18-month-old puppy, d.i.ed the same day this video was shot after spending the day in the kiddie pool. Not from heat stroke, but from drinking too much water. Mom observed the Border Collie puking it all up again later in the home, and it wasn’t long after that. Allow this tragic tragedy to act as a wake-up call and help save lives.
