HUMANE SOCIETY VOICES APPEAL
Urges Constant Consider alton of Pet Animals Dur.
 ing Summer

With the warm summer months at hand the Connecticut Humane Society today urged all pet owners to make every effort to keep their animals as cool and comfortable as possible.
 It was suggested that a pan of water always kept in the same place will help to keep the pct dog and cat cool. The Society warned, how- ever. that pets should not be over. fed during the hot weather or need. lessly exposed to the suns rays. A dog, if confined. should have a leash secured trolley fashion to a long wire with access to a shady and airy spot. Free ventilation in quart CTS occupied by such animals as re- quire confinement should be provid- cd. Above all pets should not be locked in parked cars with the win dows closed. The unbearable heat resulting has many times caused proStration of pets so left by thoughtless and inconsiderable own- CTS.
 The Society also suggested that drivers Of wolk horses carry a pail and give . little water to the horse every hour. It Is also wise to water before feeding and then again two hours later.
