So the couple and the police officer heard no sirens, no commotion in the restaurant as the fire truck arrived, no loud screeching noise as they pried the trunk open. And during the whole lunch they never went out to check on their investment and make sure the dogs did not need air, water, to pee etc. Just wondering.

This. I was wondering the same thing. :rolleyes:

They didnt just drive from Pottsboro to Dallas for a birthday lunch.
They were in Dallas all weekend with the dogs. Read all the reports:
They checked out of their hotel saturday mid morning and was on their
way to the next hotel and stop for a quick bite to eat meeting
friends, one of which was a police officer himself. He saw the seat
down and the DPD officers that were there on the scene know this! They
know the fire dept messed up- it was not the police that did this.
Read ALL the articles- it was the fire dept. But still, all in all the
DPD continued to make it worse. The Shipmans were on their way to
their next hotel thus having the dogs with them still spending their
money in our city. I dont see anything wrong with what they did on a
55 degree cloudy day. Ask the parking lot attendant when they left the
lot. You know he remembers that girls tons of blonde curls.
Furthermore the city is making the case for the Shipmans by claiming
the dogs were locked in the trunk, when in fact they were not.
REGARDLESS, The fact the city is claiming they were in the truck is
proving they could have and should have broken a window out to
“rescue” the dogs much faster and safer. Since they say the dogs were
locked in the trunk then their full of u know what for saying they
couldnt break a window for fear the glass would or could hurt the
dogs. Mmmmmm waaaaait a minute Mr Fireman YOU said the dogs were in
the trunk so how is it that they could get hurt with glass being broke
IF they werent in the car? Proves their lying trying to cover their
butts! They didn’t see the dogs is what the witnesses and the DFD are
saying…. Their Yorkies are small- how do they know they werent under
the seats? Then as if everything they did wasnt stupid enough they
continued to use 2 police cars and 4 officers to guard the car they
destroyed for over another hour and a half when the couple left the
parking lot “because there were unsecure valuables in the car” But yet
couldnt wait for them in the very beginning for a few? OR do some real
police work to find them? Besides, How is it that when they (shipmans)
left the dogs in their car for 20-30 minutes it was illegal and Cruel
but the city takes them and puts them in their car for an hour and a
half while they interrogate the man and its not illegal or cruel!!!
Theyre going to burn up in the sonata but not in their car? What in
the world! This is all just so ridiculous. Texas does not have a law
against leaving pets in your car nor does the city of dallas have an
ordnance against it. The states animal cruelty law says severe and
extreme hot and humid temps or severe extreme or freezing temps or
emanate danger. 55 degree cloudy day are none of these. SO since the
DFD destroyed this car rescuing these dogs since DFD believed they
were in such severe and emanate danger then DFD took both dogs to be
seen by a vet right away to be checked out, right? Just to make sure
they were ok since they were in such danger right??? RIGHT? I want to
read that vet examination of them? Wait, you mean they didnt do that?
They just took these poor abused dogs put them in their car for an
hour and a half then drove them to the shelter and just threw them in
cages??? WHAT????!!!!! Come on people!!! Are you serious? Then give
them back the very next day with no questions asked! PLEASE DALLAS!
Pay these people what their estimate says its going to cost to fix
before they get an attorney sue for more AND WIN!!! Any scenario the
city tries to spin it the Shipmans are going to win. They have a
police officer as a witness and their vet is backing them 100%!

So were you there? Was your Dad there? Do you have the pictures to prove the seat was open? . If they were moving from Hotel to Hotel were their suitcases in the trunk with the dogs in case someone wanted to steal their luggage? So the couple and the police officer heard no sirens, no commotion in the restaurant as the fire truck arrived, no loud screeching noise as they pried the trunk open. And during the whole lunch they never went out to check on their investment and make sure the dogs did not need air, water, to pee etc. Just wondering.

Thank you Buster Brown for catching that! Incredible isn't it how this poster knows intimate details of the case -- maybe he/she is a Shipman!!!!!

Their dogs are more privileged than most kids in my classroom. My sympathies for the kids in your classroom.
My dad works for the city and knows all the details and REAL facts here people!

Regardless the owners showed a poor lack of judgement on their part. If they considered the dogs to be so valuable and worried that they might be stolen then why did they not check on them during the lunch?

Wow, you have posted this same post everywhere there is any story about the Shipmans. And it is only because your dad works for the city? And yet you are saying that the city is in the wrong? I thought firemen and police officers were part of the city. Plus you know every detail involved. Is that part of the privacy laws? Is dad is giving out all these details? Maybe the Shipmans should sue the city for releasing all the specifics on their situation. Because all of this information hasn't been in the other stories. Only what you have posted. And you are coming on here defending this situation to a group of animal lovers? Really? Did you think we are all going to just say, oh I see then it was fine to lock their dogs in the trunk? I am sorry but I think we will be a pretty hard group to convince.

wow. this makes me sick! I cant imagine why ppl abuse animals- these ppl need to be fined and go to jail this is animal cruelty. If you knew you are going out to eat why the heck would you bring your two dogs?! that makes no sense to me. Thank god it wasnt a sunny hot day in Dallas.

Anywho, funny story, I live in Michigan and our summers get no where near as hot as Texas. But, I was walking into a Linens and Things when I saw a little terrier in a car with the windows cracked about...eh maybe 6 inches. The car was black, and scalding to the touch, so I grabbed a rock, aimed at the window and was about to throw when the owner came running out. We had a screaming match in the parking lot. Police were called and the store pressed charges, the dogs had been locked in there for over and hour on a 94 degree day.

I guess my point is, I don't care what state you're in, I don't care how hot it is. In fact, I don't care how long you plan on be out of the car whether it's 5 or 15 minutes. No living creature, animal or human should be left so any amount of time in a car. It's inhumane and mean. If you can't have the dogs
there, then don't go. Simple as that.

Good job firefighters!! Even with all the "facts".....no animal should be left inside a car with all the windows shut while the owner is busy somewhere.

and I don't believe that the seats were left down .... why put the dogs in the trunk just to leave the seats down ... anyone could see them then...so their
argument of safety would not fit.

Sounds like you have a personal investment in the side of the story you are expressing. How do you know the Shipmans' vet?

:yeahthat:

On a side note: Did the defender actually reference the wife's blonde curls??? What the heck does that have to do with anything??? :confused: :rolleyes:

LOL I loved that quote too "Ask the parking lot attendant when they left the

Agree, agree, agree! My red flag alarm is going off big time.

Whatever...anyone who would do this or vehemently defend someone else doing it is so far away from my way of thinking that I don't even know what to
say to them.

Hope the city nails them with fines and charges. They deserve it. All the fire
fighters deserve is a huge pat on the back!

I know! I was like: ????? :questione

Makes you think the person writing it is really proud of their tons of blonde curls. Who else would even say something so bizarre?

What character is that who says "who's that tripping over my bridge" ....... hmmmmmm.

Oh yeah, I remember now :rolleyes:
