I take my babies everywhere!!! While I grocery shop they are in the cart in a carrier. I have only had one person ever try to deny me entry! I just walked out one door and came in another!!!
I could never leave my babies in the car!!! Not in todays world!!!
In Arizona ppl leave their dogs in the car in the smoldering heat!! We even had a police officer leave his german shepard, partner in the back of his patrol car. It died! He said he forgot he had him with him!!!

How could you forget?
I think they charged him!!! If I was the judge I would make him sit in a hot car for a few hours with a fur coat on!!!
