"Quick reminder with K9 Thor (flaunting his shoes) and Deputy Goldner. Hot temperatures are expected to stick around until Sunday, July 17, so as a reminder, do not leave your furry friends in vehicles and be sure to feel the ground before allowing animals outside. If it is too hot for you, it is too hot for them!" wrote Ventura County Sheriff's Office on Facebook with several hashtags, including #germanshepherd and #protectyourpup.
The first video shows a Deputy named Goldner from the Sheriff's department putting shoes on the dog named Thor, while the second one shows the dog sporting special shoes and sunglasses.
