I went to a ...I just did this myself the other day. I went to a local target and with my windows UP and music ON I could hear a puppy whining. I made my SO go back and found a very young pup in a car parked in the shade with the two front windows barely cracked. She was hot, panting and frantic.<br /><br />I called the local police and the "wonderful" tropper told me since the windows were cracked, even though not enough, there was nothing he could do. I became very irritated and told him that it was rediculous, the dog would sure get sick or die. It was in the 90's and it was way to hot. His next comment - "Dogs are resiliant, he will be ok. At least they tried to do the right thing" <br /><br /> I said "really? I am sure the Dog who just BAKED to death in his car in Baltimore was resiliant too huh?" I gave him the numbers on what happens in a car and reminded him that the person in the city who elft his dog, now faces jail time and fines so I knew better then to believe his bull.<br /><br />He then said "well what do you suggest then??" I told him to go inside and apge the owner of the car. He sighed, shook his head and went in the store. When I got there he was griping at the customer service desk about how the windows were cracked (barely 1/4 of an inch mind you) and there was nothing he could do.<br /><br />WEll that person did NOT show up at the counter. I am certain they saw the officer standing there and knew WHY because we left 5 minutes after entering and the car was gone. Yeah I am sure they thought they were doig right - thats why they responded to the 3 pages and then stood their ground.<br /><br />They knew what they were doing...and they knew it was wrong.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667388849842968606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9213352484826083171.post-51948667832964014762010-07-19T21:29:56.583-07:002010-07-19T21:29:56.583-07:00Its funny you bring this story up.

I was at the river today and saw someone coming up with a dog so I threw my guy in the car so the people could pass by without having to fear my leash reactive dog. The plan failed because the people saw the dog in a car with closed windows and stopped. (don't worry the car was on, the ac was going and I was right there. Also if for some reason my car unlock button didn't work I'd of broken a window to get to him). They asked about him and I explained then thanked them for stopping and even caring.<br /><br />Don't ever be worried to warn someone about the safety of their pet. 99.9 percent of the time you will get the same reaction. A big fat Thank You!!Elizabeth Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629234157788650252noreply@blogger.com
