If he had not cared a lot about the dog, he wouldn't have been taking him out with himself in the car....he'd had left it chained up in a hot yard where the dog could've died, too. Also, since he was looking at rain approaching, it was maybe a cooler day and he underestimated the heat buildup.
Not making excuses.....just pointing out we are all flawed and in need of the benefit of the doubt.

In my mind, it doesn't follow that someone who takes their dog with them in the car would leave him in a hot yard at home instead. People who leave their dogs chained in a hot yard (or even a cool yard) aren't the type to take them along with them.
What does make sense is that this person is not well-read or has no situational awareness, or he would have known how quickly it gets broiling hot in a car in summer. I mean, what dog owner doesn't know this???
