It turned out woman B had set her AC to on before she got out of her car & locked the doors. Then she used her remote start to restart the locked car with the air running for her dog, before entering the store. Woman A didn't realize the car was running, saw the panting dog and smashed out the car window. Woman B said her dog was extremely anxious and would pant just because she was gone & the dog was alone. Police wrote a ticket for malicious destruction of personal property to woman A. Case settled when woman A paid for repairs to woman B's vehicle, along with car rental during the repair time. |
I saw the very same thing not long ago when I was going into a store on a very hot day. Two little dogs panting. When I walked up to the car I realized it was running and the air conditioning was on. I thought how nice of these people were to let their car run while they were in a busy store. Especially with gas being the price it was at the time. Some dogs just want to go when their owners go and to sit in an air conditioned car and wait is better for them than having to stay home sometimes. I realized the dogs were not panting from heat but were playing in the back seat and watching people go by. I prefer to leave my baby at home where I know she is safe but these people at least did their best for their pets.
