To keep drivers from putting their pets and car windows in danger, Tesla has introduced “Dog Mode.” The automotive company unveiled the upcoming feature onTwitter with an adorable video.

“This is in addition to existing Cabin Overheat Protection, which come on automatically at high temps to ensure any babies or pets in the car are safe,”reads Musk’s comment.

Even if you own a Tesla with “Dog Mode,” the safest way to protect your pet from dangerous tempratures is to leave them at home, or only bring them on errands where they can accompany you inside.
