They are commonly stolen out of cars and their own yards.
I *never* let my dogs outside alone or unattended in a car.
Ever.
Not even for 1 minute.
My Mother resides in northern Indiana and for awhile dead badly chewed up dogs were being found in the St. Joseph River. Many of them were missing family dogs.
Yeah but folks steal dogs like ours cause they are prized for being big pure bred guard dogs
Not throwaways like folks suggest here
I’m like you
I keep my dog locked in car when rides with me which is most days
With ac on of course...
I even have a sign to explain car running which I put on dash
135 pound male Rottweiler inside
Very aggressive
Air conditioner is on and full tank
Break glass and you’ll get bit I promise
