leaving dog in the car - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I experienced the same thing not so long ago as I made my way to the gym. I arrived and was able to find a decent parking spot near some shade and sure enough there was a beautiful Yorkie inside the car parked next to me. The windows were rolled down about an inch but you could tell the poor little guy was in need of water & fresh air. I made sure to get the Lic. Plates & headed inside to tell the person at the front counter. It wasn't a big gym so the message was heard by all, turns out the owner had been inside for more than an hour. Things like these just sicken me!

I saw on the news that when a man called 911 about a child left in the car, the police told him they are on the way but to break a window (far from child) in the mean time because they don't want the child to wait any longer than necessary. This should apply to dogs as well. I would love to break some people's window and stick them with the bill for replacement!!!

Thats bad! Some people should not be allowed to own dogs. This happened to me.. but i called animal control on them and i left them a note.. it was 90 she had 1 window cracked the dog looked older and like she wasnt going to last.. i told all this to animal control and they rushed someone out there.

Please don't get mad at me. This past Monday I had a puppy play date set with a friend that has a choc lab 12 yrs old, schitzu 10 yrs old and she just ended up with a Chiuawa (sp), 10 wks old. I stopped at the med. lab for a drug test for a job. Left my pup in the car, back windows down a little, and sun roof open part of the way, so what heat there would happen to be would rise. I ran in and asked how long, I also mentioned that I had one large glass of water and two cups of coffee waiting to come out. I also mentioned to the lab tech, I had my pup in the car. She got me right in. In and out in 5 to 8 minutes. If it had been 10 I would have left. All was alright. That is not what I normally do.

Everyone knows how hot & humid it gets in S.E. Texas even in early spring. Imagine what a dumba$$ owner faced at our Spring Bark when it was announced that a Lab was locked up in a pickup...yup,police were called,animal control was already there with a booth. The truck was surrounded by very angry rescue people. The Lab spent time in the cool-down pool and got more Frosty paws than he could eat and the idiot left in handcuffs

This happened to me about 3 weeks ago. My husband had to run in to our local Walmart for something. I stayed in the car as I wasn't feeling well. It was SO hot - in the low 90's. I heard a dog barking and barking, and finally went to see where it was coming from. There was a little dog in a mini van - ALL windows closed tight, except for the little vent window in the back. I couldn't even believe it. I went into the store to ask them to page the owner. They said they couldn't do that, and recommended calling the police, which I did. I had to provide them all of the vehicle information and they dispatched a cruiser immediately. I didn't stay around to see what happened. Why oh why, do people think it's ok to do this?!??!?!?

I'm sorry but when I think about this it makes me sick- just a few weeks ago some people left their Maltese in a van while they had a picnic- it was so hot here- the dog died in the van- the man was arrested and charged with animal cruelty. What is wrong with people? I would definitely call 911 if I saw anything like that- NY does not put up with it. Recently I was walking down the street here on a hot summers day and these people thought it was funny that their dogs feet were burning- I yelled " EXCUSE ME YOUR DOGS FEET ARE BURNING" they said" I know" and i said well do something or should i take your shoes off and make you walk barefoot- VERY LOUDLY- I'm sorry but I will always speak up for my furry friends- no matter what

People don't realize dogs get heatstroke- very easily.

I do feel sorry for people who go on vacations. There is not an easy solution to that one.

I know for a fact that in some states it is illegal to leave your dog in the car.

Shouldn't leave any pet in automoble for "any" reason. If I don't plan on taking mine in w/me then she stays home in AC. Also carry her when walking on anykind of pavement until we reach the store.
