Someone Left Their Little Dog In Car While At Publix
 
I just heard that someone left their little dog in their car with the windows rolled up while they were in Publix. The person who saw this went to report it to the manager. I guess by the time he found the manager and they got out there the owner had come out of the store. But this took about 10 minutes or so. Do you know how hot a car can get in 10 minutes in this weather? What was this person thinking?

That's the problem - they are not thinking. Wish I could lock them in the car for that amount of time.

You can call the police and report this if you witness the dog in distress. They will come out.

Ignorance, no excuse.

Amazing how people don't think. Bet this person thought they would stop and run in for something quick without thinking about how fast the temps go up.

I love animals. I particularly love "Village Dogs" ---those that love golf cart rides, being petting, etc. BUT I will never understand why their owners bring them to the Squares when it is so hot----I know they would rather be at home in air conditioning---and I can assure you when their owners asked if "they" wanted to go to the grocery store---I can never imagine that they said "yes."

Any one who does this has no love for their pet and I believe they wish the pet to be gone from their life.

Call the police on the spot

Had a black car and a magnet mounted thermometer out of the sun. On a very hot and sunny day it would peg at 160 degrees. Yes, peg at 160.

A lady in another state said she saw a dog in a hot car once and she broke the window out of the car to rescue the dog. She ended up having to pay for a new window. It was either that or go to jail. Does anyone know what the FL law is?

It wouldn't matter to most of us. We would break the window. Who is gonna do something awful to a sweet old person saving a dog from death???


Most people love their animals and they need them and become closer to them as they age.


Some people should never have children and some people should never have pets. Some people should not even have a spouse.


I know you are upset, but you aren't alone. Terrible things happen, but not too often here. Most people get smarter with age...and kinder. But there is always that exception. We keep our eyes on things here since most of us aren't working. Try not to worry.

I'm a dog lover, but I don't understand why people feel they must take their dogs to Publix or any other store. I'm sure if you are going out for a short while they would rather stay home with the AC going.

I believe people who take their dogs for golf cart rides are risking serious injury when the dog is just sitting on the seat without restraint At all or a neck leash. I know the dogs love it, but there is going to be major injury If the dog becomes a flying projectile.
