Um. . . the dog food that I buy comes in a a bag that is very shiny and looks like aluminum (I have larger dogs, thus larger dog food bags, than in this photo). It is almost impossible to tear the bag, even when I am opening it for the first time - I usually have to cut it open with scissors or a knife.
Last summer on a hot day I hear a funny noise, and go to find one of my dogs (just like in the photo) struggling head-first inside of the dog food bag. When I extricated her from the bag she was clearly overheated, shaking and panting heavily, almost gasping.
Had I not been home at the time she likely would have died.
Do a Google search. Unfortunately, this is happening fairly frequently.
Be careful, everyone.
