dogs left in a hot car

A week ago Friday I went to the grocery for a quick run, I had to take Daisy home first as it was on our way home from work.

When I came out a short time later there was a new vehicle parked next to mine with 2 Pits or what resembled Pits inside.

First let me say it was not as hot as it had been, probably about 79 out compared to the 90's we have had as of late. However, it was hot. Those poor babies were okay at that time but I decided to wait it out so I could be sure the owner was out quickly...5 minutes, then 10 minute and then 15 minutes went by, I had cracked my window as much as they had their (one) window cracked, about 1/2" to gauge just how hot it was in there. Let me tell you, I was getting pretty warm, still the dogs still appeared fine. I waited 20 minutes and then called the police, they said they would be right there so I left. Frankly I left because I was ready to kick some butt and I didn't want to make a scene.

I called the station 30 minutes later and was told the officer did not have to break the window as the owner came out as he was standing near the car. It was a woman who was old enough to know better is what I was told. I hope that scared the stupid person into never doing it again.

This morning I found this in my email - a good resource. I am going to print some flyers and start hanging them on cars with dogs inside. It doesn't happen a lot but it happens enough.
