| Irresponsible Pet Owners! I went out to eat yesterday and right before I was getting up to leave about 6 people came in waiting for a table. I waited for them to get seated before I got up to leave b/c the door was kind of blocked. Anyway after they had cleared out and I was heading for the door I noticed they had tied their 5-8lb Yorkie up to a bench outside on the sidewalk! I was furious, not only could this baby have been stolen, but it was well above 80 degrees outside even after 7p.m. I stood around the door for a few minutes debating on whether or not it was my place to say something to these people or not, but thankfully a resturant employee seemed just as upset of the situation they had put this dog in & told them they could not tie their dog up there! I watched from the parking lot as a man put the dog into their jeep (top off/windows open) and hooked it into it's car seat, still in the heat, still in danger of being dognapped! My boyfriend convinced me there really wasn't much I could do without causing a scene so I just said a little prayer and walked away. I hope this baby was ok and that these people will eventually learn to leave their dog at home where it is safe when going out to eat! |

| Some people are idiots. They don't care about their dogs. Me on the other hand, if they can't go they stay home with the ac on and having a blast with treats and water at all time. If they do go, they stay with me. My mom thinks I'm a nut for treating my pups like royalty..LOL

| That poor baby. I really wish you'd called the authorities and reported them, so the pup would've at least been checked on. Hopefully he was alright in all the heat while they enjoyed their meal.

| I live in a verryy small KY town. Just last week our dog warden was fired for shooting a pit bull that was trying to attack him. I had no one that I knew of to call =/ |

| I was walking down 17th Street, here in DC, and a Yorkie was sitting in the sun, panting, tied to a metal newspaper dispenser...... while its owner went into a corner CVS!! I was just about to go over to hang out with it but another lady got to it, before I did.... Unbelievable!! - I would NEVER even think of doing that!!!! |

| I wish someone would tie them out in the heat or leave them in a car in the heat. I leave my air conditioner on in my house for my dogs when I have to leave them |

| I feel like if someone is going to be that careless the very LEAST they could do is leave some water with the dog, esp in that kind of heat! Gabby goes outside to play for a few mins at a time and always has a bowl of filtered, refrigerated water inside & out! But again, I think it's best to just leave the dog at home! We want them to be with us, more often than not, they'd rather be at home! They don't need to go & be put in danger! |

| what a bunch of idiots. Someone should tie those people to a pole on a hot day and see how it feels. |

| How can people even think about tying the dog up to a pole outside somewhere while they go shopping or eating.. I would be afraid that someone would steal them and besides it's summertime... the dogs would die of heat exhaustion.... what mentality on some damn people...
