I need some help...

okay well my friend keeps putting clothes on her dog and it is SUMMER in FLORIDA. do you know how hot it is!?! I keep tellin her to stop but she isnt. Whenever i try to take the clothes off her dog she gets all mad. And her dog always lays down motionless outside when he has the clothes on and pants very very rapidly. I really need help. I feel really bad for this dog.

You're doing the right thing by trying, but she obviously isn't into hearing it.

You could talk to her parents about it, or you could ask yours (or do it yourself!) to call the spca in your area. Dogs can overheat very rapidly and if the dog is clothed in hot humid florida weather-well this is a dangerous situation. Try her parents first though And if this is an occaisonal thing I would let it be, but if the dog is dressed everyday I would talk to the spca about it.

Poor little thing!
Tell her to put on her coat all the time – then she can imagine what her poor dog is going through.
Yes, talking to her parents seems to be a good idea!

Maybe suggest to her some other clothing options like a colorful bandanna that's been wet down with some cool water? If she or her parents want to spend some money there are also cooling bandannas made for hot weather as well as doggie sun-glasses and sandals like at this site:

While these things may not be as adorable as a full on outfit, they're still stylish and will keep her doggie from getting heat stroke.
