That should teach the dumbshits for leaving you in the car.....LOL

1. LOL

I have a sheltie... I NEVER would leave her in a car!!

[get the red out]

2. Beautiful Shelties

I have always loved Shelties.

[Fuddnik]

3. I wouldn't do that.

My dogs would drive off.

4. There is almost no reason ever to leave a car running.

Unless, perhaps, you're holding up a bank or liquor store, and even then you should have the getaway driver in the car.

It takes perhaps three seconds to start a car. Turn it off. Take the keys with you.

13. Maybe running the a/c for the dog's benefit?

My mom used to do that when she took our dog while she ran errands.

15. I actually thought of that as I made my post.

And it would be entirely too cavalier of me to suggest they get it fixed.

As for keeping the A/C for the dog, roll down all the windows. Or leave the dog home.

There have been just too many times a car has been stolen because someone left it running to run into a store. The most heartbreaking was a woman whose baby wound up dead because she tried to grab the kid out of the car as the thief was driving away, but the child got tangled up in the car seat straps. Happened in the Kansas City area several years ago. I've heard her 911 call. The kind of thing that should never happen to anyone, but turn off the car.

Or, if you have very good reason to leave it running, always have a spare key with you, so you can lock the car behind you and then get back in. How hard would that be?

21. Hind sight is like that

[TeamPooka]

26. rolling down windows in extreme heat doesn't help the dog. AC needs to be running out west.

18. Perhaps they were at the car, getting ready to go off, and had started it for the A/C

Get the dog in the car, start it for the A/C, turn around to say goodbye to the people you were visiting - and then find you're locked out?

Or if it's cold, and you have to scrape ice from the windows - doing the same, but running the engine to warm it up while you're doing the outside of the windows.

[SheilaT]

24. Sometimes I do start my car in winter

so it can warm up while I'm scraping the windows. I'm so totally paranoid about accidentally locking myself out of the car that I make sure at least one window is left open.

Then again I don't have a dog who can do the "lock the doors" trick, which is an unintended consequence of electric door locks.

5. Excellent

[HappyMe]

6. lol!

Yup, that's what you get!

[madokie]

7. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this dog actually was thinking that

We have a border collie and I do believe that if something was to happen to me she'd know what to do to get me help. She's shown me so many times with what she has done that she had to be thinking.

[Politicalboi]

8. This happened to me

But I had 2 Rottie puppies. It was hot, and I just started my truck and the air was on, and I forgot something in the house. I thought I will just run in and get it, and come right out. I did that, and the Rotties were happy to see me back they stood on their hind legs with their paws near the drivers window. Then I heard the sound I was afraid of. One of their big paws locked me out with my truck running. They were happy and cool while I was hot and pissed. I had to call AAA to get them out. I don't have auto windows, so it would have taken a lot for them to roll them down.

[broiles]

11. Me too, but the car wasn't running.

Thank goodness I had left the sun roof open. But climbing thru it in heels, hose and a tight skirt along a busy street was not fun.

[Skittles]

9. I love the dog's expression

it's like yawn, yeah, I did that

[LibertyLover]

10. Good dog!

n/a

[Quantess]

12. They should be embarrassed.

Haha, yeah, the joke is on them. Except, they should keep it to themselves and vow to never do that again.

[Fumesucker]

16. LOL.... A couple I know raises wolves, big ones

They have an ancient Suburban that they use to take the wolves to the vet, that vehicle has not the slightest trace of upholstery, carpet or plastic left inside it, even the metal has a somewhat chewed look to it.

I thought this might be that sort of deal.

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. lol, pretty dog

[Earth_First]

19. The problem with this photograph is...

...is that it's part of a meme called 'pet shaming' for silly or disruptive behaviors that pets sometimes do; often as an act of disobedience due to irresponsible ownership.

There is nothing funny, silly or cute about the pet shaming meme..

[Are_grits_groceries]

20. Seriously?

No sarcasm? You actually believe that sign will make the dawg feel bad?

Seriously?

[Comrade Grumpy]

22. Oh, for cripes' sake.

[snooper2]

23. I hope the owners of the dog don't take his internet away

He was supposed to participate in this thread!

[dorkzilla]

28. ***snort***

Well done, you!

[muriel_volestrangler]

27. Your post is not as funny as the photo in the OP

but a good attempt, nevertheless.

[fadedrose]

25. What a dog!!!

I bet he know a lot of tricks you haven't even dreamed of yet!!
