If you grab an item that is right by the check out lane, you are STILL looking at at least another 5 minutes minimum inside the store! I am always being "inconvenienced" by my dogs, but I will make double or triple or however many trips out of my way, rather than leave any of my babies in a parked car, unattended....it is not in their best interest on several levels. That is just me. But we do have people that do not feel like that...they leave their dogs locked in parked cars, they also leave their babies in locked cars....if a dog can survive in a hoit car, a baby should be able to......more convenient to do that, than make two trips. In Texas, it gets very hot, very quickly, and you will return to your car to find your window broken out and the police, Animal control or even CPS waiting for you to get back out to your car! (And there have been several stories of police officers that have left their K-9s in the police cars, with the a/c running, and they return to their cars to find dying dogs...a/c's apparently will start to blow hot air if they are running in a parked car in summertime....they sent out public service messages addressing this very issue. The officers were absolutely devastated...)

Oh see I don't live in Texas where it's like 100 everyday...again I'm not saying is right to leave dogs in cars at all! Miley will NOT be left in my car all I'm saying is you never know why someone left their dog in the car and for that reason that don't deserve to come back to their car with a missing dog and ruined car. I've never seen or heard of anyone leaving a child in the car in my area. That just doesn't seem to happen here.
