We've seen the stories a thousand times, a reporter takes a thermometer inside a car to show how hot it can get.

KUSA's Kyle Clark was on his way to lunch, and heard a dog crying; locked in a hot car on a 90-degree day. He called 311 (must be a Denver thing) and while on hold, the owner came out of a yogurt shop and basically laughed at him.

Check out his story and the video of the crying dog. This is one time 'going viral' may actually be beneficial. Here at FTVLive World Headquarters, we would have smashed the car window.
