Dear Dr. Fox:

We recently experienced the terrible death of my niece's beloved cat, Baby. A family friend put some clothes in the dryer without realizing that Baby was asleep inside. The results were heartbreaking.

I am writing to you in the hope that you can warn others to never allow their animals to sleep in a clothes dryer. Better yet, make sure that the dryer door is never left open. Many animals are attracted to the warmth of a dryer.
