I am not sure there is an "other side" to this thread because I believe the rants here are directed at those "idiots" who leave their dog in a car on a hot day. The story that started this was one of those people. She said she was only gone 5 minutes but all the witnesses said it was a lot longer. She was probably getting her nails done while her dog was roasting. Responsible people like yourself would not do that, but there are boneheads who would. I agree with you that common sense must be used before breaking someone's window but once it has been established that an animal could be in grave danger - find me a brick.
I am fortunate to have a remote starter and there has probably been 3 times that I have left Max and/or Sasha in the car. Not only were they comfy in the car (winter or summer) but I NEVER let them out of my line of sight. I am more afraid of someone trying to steal them!
