Poor dog.
PETA is upset because they didn’t have the opportunity to euthanize the dog and gain some more free publicity.
I don’t want to sound like I’m blaming the victim; but it is stupid to leave one’s vehicle running with a pet inside while going into a store. There is no way I’d do either. The owner’s curiosity about “what’s taking so long?” cost the dog its life.
Because PETA doesn't like competition.
Poor thing.
Rest in Peace...
Karma’s on the hunt and you need not ask why things happen to you...
My dog-lover persona flowed with: This is horrible, and I hope the perpetrators are caught, arrested and prosecuted the fullest extent of the law. What a terrible way to die. :-(
I hope that there is a Heaven for dogs. Some preachers claim that animals just die while others claim that they go to some kind of heavenly realm. I see Biblical arguments for both sides, so all I can do is pray about it.
Perhaps the owner should have had two sets of keys, locking the first key inside the running van, a/c on and windows up, doors locked. When it is cold out (-30F is not uncommon in Calgary), I often start the car, leaving the engine running, and lock the doors with the key in the ignition. I then go inside, keeping an eye on the car. Once it has warmed up enough for the frost to clear from the window, I use the second key to open the door and drive away.
Uh, that’s a yellow lab, not a golden retriever.
Still a beautiful dog.
This is a heartbreaking story!! (I live in the area).
He left the car running so it was fairly easy to steal.
He should have shut off the engine and brought Maru into the store with him, especially since it was a pet store that most certainly allows pets.
So sorry for that beautiful, yellow lab...
Well, the owners are too stupid to be allowed to own another dog. And the car thief should be shot.
Stupid idiot. (The owner). They do ‘t deserve to own a dog.
Aww. She looks a lot like my dog, but he has a very white face now, He is about 8 or 9.
