Depends how far down you roll the windows. If I sit in my car with the windows even halfway down, I get a good breeze and I feel fine.
That's great, but you're not a dog. It's different for animals and there isn't always a breeze.

I don't think a lot of people fully understand just how bad it gets, especially for animals, sitting in a car on a hot day. Like mentioned, it only takes minutes, if that, for an animal to die by overheating. 
I understand how hot it gets. I live in Houston. Heatstroke is fairly common here. I'm just saying we have no idea if the dog was in any kind of distress or what the weather was actually like.
