None of this was ever directed at you or the situation that you had in October.....it was about this couple, today, here at Station Mall. I had all the facts when I posted. You choose to bring your situation into this.

And this is why I don't usually bother with this site.

Sorry for stepping on your thread. I wasn't commenting on your actions either. Don 't take it so personally.

as a fellow human and animal lover i thank you for looking out for the dogs well being.

Just like the dumbasses who leave their dogs in the back of trucks when its 20 below while they are in Timmy's for hours. Makes me wish it was legal to shoot them.

guess we should have butt out and let the dog die.....because it wasn't allowed in the mall.

It's good you can make your point without engaging in hyperbole.

I know a couple who lost a dog because it was left in their car. The husband took the dog for a car ride to run some quick errands around town on a hot day. He got out at a business planning to be back to the car in a few minutes, but got distracted and ended up forgetting the dog was in the car. When he got back one hour later, he was horrified to find the dog in convulsions. Rushing to the vet didn't help. Very very sad.

Unless you are taking your dog to a specific place for a specific reason, leave your dog at home. Period. You aren't doing him any favors.

When it's hot out and you have to run into a store with your dog left in the car did anyone ever think of air conditioning?

[MaO3]

I have. I've taken mine to the vet or groomer and had to run into a store. I locked my truck with the A/C going for him for the 5 or 6 minutes.
I would never forgive myself if anything every happened to my boy because of my stupidity.

I just found this which gives a bit of a time line for the temperature change... Scarey

Every year, dogs suffer and die when their guardians make the mistake of leaving them in a parked car—even for "just a minute"—while they run an errand. Parked cars are deathtraps for dogs: On a 78-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can soar to between 100 to 120 degrees in just minutes, and on a 90-degree day, the interior temperature can reach as high as 160 degrees in less than 10 minutes.
Animals can suffer brain damage or death from heatstroke in just 15 minutes. Beating the heat is extra tough for dogs because they can only cool themselves by panting and by sweating through their paw pads.
If you see a dog left alone in a car, take down the car's color, model, make, and license plate number. Have the owner paged in the store, or call local humane authorities or police. Have someone keep an eye on the dog. Don't leave the scene until the situation has been resolved.

you guys crack me up ... what nutjob sits and watches someone else's vehicle for over an hour then decides to say something.

name calling aside, it boils down to common sense - if you feel it's hot - it's twice as hot for your dog. I swear some people have absolutely no intelligence when it comes to the well being of their pets.

It's pretty hot out right now so I've got my dog strapped to the roof of the car. We're headed for Niagara Falls in the morning. She'll be fine up there, right?

That's OK, isn't it RWGR?

Well?

Shouldn't you be focusing on the presidential race Mr. Romney. It's getting close now.

Maybe you're right. But first I wanna go fire some people.

"I'm a Canadian that obsesses abooot America"
-Huggy, 2012

Lies. Quotation marks imply that I made that statement. Prove where I said that.

And check to see how many threads I have started about the USA vs. threads you started about Canada. Obsession......
