I was told even if they get there and the car is gone, they will still follow up with this unthinking person.

The poor little guy was on the floor, had been barking, then stopped barking. Probably too hot to bark. I am still so upset by it. The doggy was suffering, but I feel like I am suffering now just with the memory......

Here's a great website with info on locking dogs in cars.......I have printed it and made copies to put on people's cars that do this....and I will keep animal control's # handy to report them. I just can't stand for this anymore....it's way too sad...........

Excellent post, and good for you for following up! A lot of people don't realize that even when it's 70 degrees outside, a car can turn into an oven within minutes.
