Thank you for sharing your tho...to: Kelly and Issac<br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts/concerns. <br />I am sorry to say especially as I get older. ( tho at times I am not proud of) I am sorry to say I have to consciously / subconsciously as to rush in making a decision (with out the facts from both sides of a given scenario). I guess maybe for me ?? The heart, spirit and soul has it's advantages and often times disadvantages ?? <br />Again, thank you so very very much for sharing.

In some places, if you call 911, they will just tell you to call animal control. But certainly calling the police is worth a try.<br /><br />And I agree, dogs shouldn't be left in cars in any weather. It's just more dangerous in very hot weather. It's also dangerous in very cold weather.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148829637378959413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619104197849134525.post-31805684164144588332015-06-23T20:15:16.814-04:002015-06-23T20:15:16.814-04:00To Kelly and Issac: thank you for your post and pe...To Kelly and Issac: thank you for your post and personally, (in my humble opinion) not to be judgmental or share a personal thought/experience, I am sorry to say that this is a hot button topic issue/concern you were kind enough to share with your readers. for anyone service dog or not) If one lets his/her service dog or any type of domestic animal/animal or to even further expand upon this topic to include helpless humans (disabled or not) being subject to be left alone in any type of vehicle no matter if its only a minute or less nor depending if the weather season is winter, spring, summer or full, (in my thoughts) classifies as being non caring and possibly ignorant to the well being of the service dog and or other domestic animals/ animals and to extend or humans for that matter. Does not mater to me (again in my humble opinion), in that your above mentioned post as related to summer weather would be applicable to all seasons. <br />Shortened scenario/experience, last spring I was with my private duty nurse and we both noticed a dog in a vehicle that had little to no ventilation. Apparently the owner thought (non disabled) the dog would be fine. However, despite the fact it was early in the morning, as the sun was rising (granted the temps were not what might one consider dangerously hot . I tried to reach out to restaurant staff as to acknowledged the dog seemed in distress. The restaurant staff went around to ask every patron if they had a dog in his/her vehicle regarding the distress concerns of the dog/ communications of both myself and my nurse. Well long story short: much to my dismay: the owner (sitting behind my self and private duty nurse) of the dog seemed to have this nonchalant in attitude (non disabled mind you) and this person continued to proceed with their breakfast meal. I ended up immediately calling 911 and reporting the the above mentioned scenario. The person who was so called either the owner and or caretaker of the dog then copped this attitude when the police arrived. It was only then, both my self and nurse informed the police that this dog had been sitting in a vehicle for at least more then 1/2 an hr. <br />Foot note: In the state where I reside, this would be defined and considered as animal abuse. Subject to a a fine.<br />End note: Both my self and nurse had an opportunity to speak with the local law enforcement that was called to the scene and the person /owner/caretaker immediately left as soon as that person overheard our conversation.<br /> <br />As Kelly and Issac were kind enough to post their thoughts and concerns regarding this topic. I have to be honest in saying please be pro-active when seeing a animal/domestic animal in a scenario as above mentioned in harm. I think this is an important matter that might be considered open discussion by your other readers. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
