I don't understand why people insist on dragging their poor dogs with them to stores or post offices only to be left in the car

I don't even like running my errands, why would I think my dog would???? I wouldn't leave my dog in the car for even 1 minutes without me (unless I'm pouring gas, and that's only because I'm standing right there. If I pay inside, she goes with me). That's just irresponsible, and there is no excuse or reason to take your dog on your errands. Leave them at home where they have their space and safety.
