Some dingbat left her dog in the car this summer and my wife called the cops. Before she got off the phone the woman showed up. My wife called her a stupid bitch.

You are lucky the cops didn't show up and shoot both your wife and the dog.

Mine is a Lhasa. But I have a boy Lhasa and he loves everybody.

My little JRT goes everywhere with me. It's just him & I.
Just today we went to the post office and then stopped at the corner store to pick up a few things. Never, ever did I think this was abuse.
Oh, Teddy, guess you are going to stay home from now on.....so sorry.

The one that hates skateboarders is a Pomeranian/Maltese mix so maybe its the Pomeranian in him that gets pissed off LOL..but he will flip over in a second for tummy rubs from anyone

I’d never leave my dog in my vehicle. And why should anybody expect a scumbag car thief to “do the right thing” and let the dog out?

Actually I blame the dog owner more, I find it completely ridiculous that so many people take their dogs to the store, mall, hardware stores, whatever. But to take an animal and then leave it in the car? What the hell, leave the dog home, and if you cant be away from it for a short period you have a serious problem. There are too many people claiming that their pets are service animals just so they can take them wherever they go and this ends up causing problems for people with legitimate service animals.

It’s obvious: a cop stole the car.

I do, too. The only way my dog would be "left in the car" would be if I was pumping gas, paying at the pump, and standing right next to the car the entire time with my concealed handgun. This guy was a fool, trusting his dog to "the kindness of criminals".

And even if the crooks had "done the right thing", his dog would quite possibly be lost or killed in traffic. Either way the owner was an idiot.
