I dropped my daughter off at Micheals today where she works and of course Chloe always comes as the other staff love to give her hugs and cuddle with her. I then went over to PetSmart next door to Micheals. A dog inside a SUV started barking when it saw Chloe. I didn't think much of it at the time.

At trip to PetSmart with Chloe is always at least 45 mins as she has to visit with all the other dogs and sniff everything lol. After getting food and the cutest keychain for me

we headed back to the car. The same dog was still in the SUV

Let me tell you guys it was HOT here today. No breeze and very high humidity. I started to walk over to the suv when I was approached by a woman who must have seen I was angry and asked how long the dog had been in this vehicle. Needless to say we called the police.

Another woman came over and we asked if she could get water so PetSmart God bless them sent her back with a bowl of water. It brought tears to my eyes to see this poor dog trying to inhale the water. We were petting her and her ears were roasting hot as well as her poor dry nose. All in all the dog was in there for almost an hour and a half.

The police found the owner shopping in Micheals!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!! Buying crafts and do-dads takes priority over your dogs well being?!?!?!?! I was so angry when this woman walked over the the SUV that I turned heel and walked away. With two police cars there I really didn't want to say something that I shouldn't. I only hope that they gave her a very hefty fine. Even better perhaps any owner found leaving their dog in a car on a hot summer day should be subjected to the same fate.

I don't think they will be removing the dog as it is a pitbull and as they are very difficult to place the risk of being put down would be too high. Also the officer commented with a sigh "oh jez it's a pitbull"

When I went back to Micheals to bring my daughter the drink she asked me to get (two hours earlier) she started to tell me about this horrible woman and her dog. I said I know who do you think called the cops. Her co-worker chuckled and said "your daughter said what to you want to bet it was my Mom that reported her". What can I say, I can't stand to see any animal being abused.

I can't believe that after all of the tragic stories of dogs dying in cars that people still think it's acceptable. My policy is simple, if I can't bring my dogs in I dont bring them with me.
