That happened here in Potomac, upscale area the congressmen live in..The woman got jail time. Texas also gives jail time the same as if you left your child in a car. And for me, they darn well deserve it and a large fine and lose the dog. Give it to someone who will properly care for it.

I lived in Texas years ago, while at the grocery store a lady had put her child in the car seat and shut the door. She had sat her purse down in the front seat, and of course her keys where in it. She locked the door and panicked. The store manager called the police and fire department. The police arrived first and told her he was going to break the window. She said no !!
The cop did it anyways. It was a rather warm day, the baby was crying and sweat was just pouring off this little guy. She was ticketed for basically being dumb.

I'm computer illiterate so I have no idea. I'm just now trying to learn facebook.

Did the police or animal control come rescue the dog while
you were there?

It's up to you whether or not 'everyone' can see what you post on twitter. You can lock it so only people you pick see it, or whatever.

Whoever locked the poor puppy in there did a horrible thing, and I take that very seriously. But at the same time I had to laugh at the twitter shaming thing. People are so goofy sometimes.

Here's a good one: they're trying to pass a law here in PA that it's illegal to leave your child in the car while you go in the casino to gamble. WHAT?? Your child??? This has actually been happening!! That's another case of how can you make stupidity illegal. I'd break that car window in a heartbeat if it were a child or a dog in there. Then I'd get arrested and sued but %$%# it- it would be worth it.

Why are so many of you assuming it was a "she" who left the dog locked in the hot car? :roll:

Good for her! She should be shamed and more.

You're right; I assumed it was a she. Don't know why. Men are equal opportunity losers when it comes to animal neglect/abuse/cruelty.

I wish I knew of a better way other than breaking the window of the suv - but I felt bad for this dog and he was so pretty. Beautiful chocolate lab. I told that lady it was basically the same thing as locking your kid in the car and I didn't leave until she said she would stay until the police got there. After all she was tweeting about it let her handle it. we have a kennel in the back for hunting, but our puppies are treated like kings! they have their own runs and get rewarded when the guys have a good hunting day we have a rotating schedule for all the guys to come out and clean the pens, wash the water bowls, wtaer them and feed them every day and our guys are maid to pay a penalty if they have to get someone else do their duty for them. It all goes back to responsibility - if you have animals you have a morale responsibility to take care of them. Not to mention love them.
but i just didn't understand the TWEETING...shame. It was just a new one to me. i am so glad there are so many animal lovers on here. ;) I have 2 yorkies myself including the kennel with the beagles.
