I went out to eat yesterday and right before I was getting up to leave about 6 people came in waiting for a table. I waited for them to get seated before I got up to leave b/c the door was kind of blocked. Anyway after they had cleared out and I was heading for the door I noticed they had tied their 5-8lb Yorkie up to a bench outside on the sidewalk! I was furious, not only could this baby have been stolen, but it was well above 80 degrees outside even after 7p.m. I stood around the door for a few minutes debating on whether or not it was my place to say something to these people or not, but thankfully a resturant employee seemed just as upset of the situation they had put this dog in & told them they could not tie their dog up there! I watched from the parking lot as a man put the dog into their jeep (top off/windows open) and hooked it into it's car seat, still in the heat, still in danger of being dognapped! My boyfriend convinced me there really wasn't much I could do without causing a scene so I just said a little prayer and walked away. I hope this baby was ok and that these people will eventually learn to leave their dog at home where it is safe when going out to eat!
