To the lady who called me a bitch:
Do us dog people a favour and watch your mouth. You don’t know my schedule, much less my dog’s life, or my parents life, or when the dog was last at home. My dog was only left in the car for two minutes before you yelled at us and threatened to call the RCMP. He gets lots of love and attention and is walked daily. I make sure he gets fed and gets lots of water. He also gets play time and training time.
Listen, I know how he feels, but he was just out of the car a two minutes ago. So why not make our lives easier by putting a muzzle on your snout? Oh and I apologize for my loss of knowledge about legal rights, but where do you get off calling me a bitch, too?

Why did you leave the damned thing in the car in the first place.
Leaving dogs in cars. Been all over the news. Offended cause you did it and someone called your ass out over it. You’re wrong.
Lots of save-all-dogs-from-ever-being-alone-in-a-car-for-even-a-minute heroes these days
…..and how is a passerby to know how long that dog has been in the car? Most people would react in the same manner. Have some consideration and don’t leave your animal in a locked up vehicle.
Yeah for real, you should be thanking that person for caring about a stranger’s (your) dog. And btw, you’re NOT speaking for us dog-people.
