Reply #7: People are so damn stupid about this

[tularetom]

Many years ago we saw a small dog locked in a car in a Trader Joe parking lot on a 100 degree afternoon. The dog appeared to be in some distress and was panting heavily. To make matters worse there was a bumper sticker on the car that announced that the owner was a veterinarian. I was so pissed I went back to my truck for a hammer to bust open a window but the owner returned before I got there. She gave me a ration of shit (It was none of my business and she knew better than I did what was safe for her dog) and drove off in a snit.

I didn't have my cell phone with me but I called the cops when I got home and gave them the license number. I have no idea what they did (or what they even COULD do under the circumstances) but I've often wondered whatever happened to that poor dog.
