Okay, I love taking Pan everywhere with me! He loves car rides and I love loading him up for our next adventure.

However, today is was 102 degrees outside according to my gauge in my truck. So Pan was not allowed to leave the house, except to go potty.

Well we went to a poker run today, and I was asked to run to the store to pick up some water. When I pulled into the parking spot I noticed that there was a little dog in the car next to me. They left one window cracked, and this poor baby was trying to get his nose out of the crack, he was panting heavily, and looked miserable.

I was parked next to him for about five minutes, waiting for the owner to reappear. After that I took down their plate number and walked into the store to have them paged. I waited there for a few minutes and headed back to call the police and the humane society - and to break that window!

Well, I walked out and the people were at their car... I walk up giving them the look of death and shaking my head. She knew she was in trouble. I started with you do realize that its 100 degrees outside and that poor baby was trying to get his nose out of the crack in the one window you left down for him. He was panting heavily and looked like he was in distress. Her response, we only thought we were running in and out. As soon as I heard the page I came out.

I told her she almost came out to a broken car window. She was like, I looked for a shady spot... Hello, it doesn't matter! You left your baby in the car, he could have died, it only takes minutes for the temperatures in your car to become deadly.

I got the I'll never do it again (yeah right) and left fuming! People are so stupid. Let's see how long she could have sat in that car in those conditions!

Aaaarrrgggh that makes me so angry. I'm kind of surprised that she was so 'admitting and apologetic' about it. Usually stupid people think they've done nothing wrong and would say F U to the concerned person. I really wish pet 'owners' were held more responsible. If that was a human baby in the car she would have had dss called on her and she would be investigated. I find it hard not to hit people sometimes and i calm myself by saying 'i do not want to go to jail, i do not want to go to jail' :nope:

Ok, I am preaching to the choir, but for goodness sakes! When you bring a pet home, you are responsible for their life, comfort, health, happiness, everything! You have to make sure that they get EVERYTHING they need. Kind of like a baby! What kind of moron does something like that! It really shows their character.

I reported someone to the police last summer and let me tell you, if policeman hadn't been around the corner, I would have broken that window for sure. My daughters were just having hissy fits crying and looking at that poor dog. Pretty sad when a 6 year old knows better!

It's amazing that this is still happening! People are also leaving their dogs out side shops and when they get stolen they cry how did this happen???? Arrggh, and who really suffers! I never ever leave Usko alone anywhere else than his own home. And to tell you the truth even that pains me....

A member here shared that very graphic which I promptly turned into fliers that I keep in my truck.
I have added the line on the bottom of the graphic. It says this:

"I called the cops too, by the way. You @*&(^ Moron." (The swear word is spelled out by the way. And if I ever see this I shall INDEED call the cops) :yes:

That is a GREAT idea. I will have to steal it.

Bless you, you probably saved that poor puppies life! People like that should not own dogs. My dogs love to go bye bye, but we haven't taken them any where in months due to the heat around here. Of course they think they are being punished, but I've already had Athena in for heat stroke just from taking her outside. It angers me that people are so stupid!

Thank you for helping that poor thing. I just don't understand the stupidity of people. The other day we were running errands (without Frank because it was mid-80s and he would rather snooze at home in front of the A/C vent anyway) and I decided to sit in the car while the husband went in the post office with the window cracked and no A/C just to feel what it was like in when the temperature was in the mid-80s. It took him 10 minutes and by the time he came out, I was pouring sweat, my face felt like it was in an oven, and I needed water. I can't even fathom when the weather is in the 90s or over 100. Everyone who leaves a baby or a dog in the car like that should be made to sit in the car in the same conditions as the creature in their care and see how much they like it.
