00:00Man's canine and feline friends at home are relatively way shorter and smaller in mass or size.

00:06Thus, they are more vulnerable to extended exposure to the elements like high or extreme heat,

00:11in which their endurance and resistance pales many times under their human counterparts.

00:16And extreme heat can be lethal to a typical dog in less than 20 minutes of exposure to the hot sun,

00:22as our Christian Bascones narrates in this report.

00:25Dogs, affectionately regarded as man's best friend, are considered family members by many,

00:32just like Zeki, an American bully owned by couple Arvin and Joanna Olpindo.

00:37But recently, Zeki almost lost his life after being accidentally left tied outside their house,

00:42exposed to the scorching heat of the sun.

00:44He was shaking, gasping pervert, and on the verge of dying from heat stroke when their neighbor found him.

00:49Nung sinend po sa akin, nawala na talaga sa akin ako ng pag-asa dahil lumabas na yung dila niya.

00:55Talagang, yung asawa ko, iniwan ko sa school. Sabi ko, alis ako, uwi ako pasaglit sa bahay.

00:59Para, tingnan ko ako si Zeki. Baka ako di ko pa abutan. Sabi ko.

01:04Then, umalis ako, sir. Nung pagdating ko, medyo, ano na siya.

01:06Talagang, ano na siya, bagsak na siya, sir. Na sobrang nalalambot siya.

01:12They immediately poured water on Zeki to help him cool down.

01:16Moments later, the dog began to recover.

01:18Had their neighbor arrived even a few minutes later, Zeki might not have survived, which is why the family is very grateful.

01:24Papasalamat po ko kala Ate Maylin, doon po sa kapitbayin namin, kikyo Chodi.

01:27Tsaka sa mga anak niya kasi talagang mapapanood niyo po yung video.

01:31Talagang support po sila na sa dadin nila, sa asawa ni Ate Maylin, na para lumakasi sa Zeki.

01:36According to Veterinarian Dr. Harmon Neisser, the normal temperature of dogs is around 37 to 39.2 degrees Celsius.

01:44When exposed to hotter temperatures, a dog's body can only endure the heat for up to 15 minutes.

01:49Ang normal temperature ng isang aso is 37.9 to 39.2.

01:57So, pag mas mataas siya ng 39.2, usually dyan na magsastark magkakaroon na ng mga manifestation ng tinatawag na heat stroke.

02:06Mga 15 minutes na exposed sila dun sa arawan.

02:09Actually, matagal na yung 15 minutes.

02:12The Veterinarian also shared signs of heat stroke in pets like dogs.

02:16Magbaon sila lagi ng tubig para dun sa alaga nila.

02:18Especially ngayon, gustong-gusto ng mga tao kasama yung mga alaga nila sa beach.

02:22So, kailangan magbaon tayo ng mga electrolytes, mga dextrose powder, tubig, and then magbigay tayo ng proper ventilation lagi.

02:35Magbaon sila lagi ng tubig para dun sa alaga nila.

02:38Especially ngayon, gustong-gusto ng mga tao kasama yung mga alaga nila sa beach.

02:42So, kailangan magbaon tayo ng mga electrolytes, mga dextrose powder, tubig, and then magbigay tayo ng proper ventilation lagi.

02:53Apart from heat stroke, dogs can also become aggressive or irritable due to extreme heat, which may lead to biting or attacking people.

02:59Trainer Darwin Espinosa, a member of Protector Canines, shared this advice.

03:03Pumili sila ng malamig na oras. Kasi may mga oras na may, hindi mo na masyadong mainit.

03:10Tapos iwasan nila yung mga between 9 to 3. Kasi yan, matindi yung init ng angin eh.

03:20Tapos, kung sa kanin hindi man ano, dahil magbaon sila ng tubig na pwede nilang painom sa aso.

03:25Tapos, all it's a faster, ginagawa ko, babasay mo yung mga singit-singit nila.

03:29This incident has served as a lesson for the Olpindo family, and they hope that sharing their experience can help others take better care of their pets,

03:37who are more than just animals, but are actual family members.

03:40This is Christian Bascones from the National TV Network for a new and better Philippines.
