I have gone into the store for a quick grocery stop, or into the post office, something like that. I think most people that take their dogs do that, however that was WAY too long. 10 min max.
Also, I have a car starter so I can have the car running, with air or heat. The radio on etc.
NOW I am aftraid to do that anymore. People are different now. Yes, people now know what $$ we are paying for these dogs and it puts dollars in their eyes.
Isn't it just sick? No conscience at all. My mind has a hard time wrapping around it.
