Excellent post. This has always been my suggestion for owners that think it is OK to run into a store while leaving the dog in the car. Sit there in the car for the length of time you would be in the store!
The problem is most people have no sense of time concerning these things. They think they will only be gone 10 minutes but really you can't walk into the store, find what you need and check out in 10 minutes. It takes 10 minutes to check out not to mention the time standing in line. There is no way you can estimate the length of the line or any problems that may occur in the process. |
