Except now people involve themselves when there really is no danger. Because it has become one of those ‘everyone knows’ memes. Envirowackos in CA citizen arrested a guy who really was in the store just a few and parked in the shade with the windows down. Dogs fine but he offended their self righteousness.
Recently a woman in northern Virginia was charged with felony murder because she bypassed her child’s daycare and drove straight to work as veterinarian. The child died during the 7 hours it was in the car. This was the second time she left her son in the car for an extended period.
We’ve got a fenced yard for our dogs to play in, they surprisingly don’t mind not going to the store (or the parking lot) with us and preter to loll in the grass and bark at things than be used as status symbols for us on the road.Frankly if I didn’t have to go to the store and could hang out in the yard I’d do that instead myself

Unfortunately, the people who need to read this will never see it.

@bagbalm – in severe heat a few minutes is all it takes. Even in the shade.

I think I’ll print this out and leave it on every car I see in the parking lot with a dog in it. Very well put!

Too bad more people don’t read this strip. :-\ … and I mean that in the nicest way, of course. ;-)
