[@charismaspencer89]

The girl who answered "an hour". Seriously????

[@mattfromwiisports4550]

BRUH

[@Slappypaige123]

Well I'm sure she's better off then you are

[@xxsanaixx9516]

Paige Latham Yeah...but it's common sense..would you want to be in a car for an hou r? Probably no, and so wouldn't a dog.

[@BLVCKxvSCVLE]

Paige Latham that has to be the lamest excuse i ever heard. I have never had a animal, but would never leave it in the car. Common fucking sense. I'm actually shocked at how many people liked your comment. Please stop.

[@TheSloth375]

She probably doesn't have a dog and has no experience. I thought an hour because I have cats who can chillaxe and cool themselves because I didn't know dogs were different

[@leanne186]

The correct answer is never.

[@Mossfaerie]

Slend R Man Thanks, the description and video already told me that.

[@MrArkangel11]

Slend R Man A better answer is AC

[@taylor0000027]

The chick in the thumbnails chest grosses me out. And Cats < Dogs

[@starvingboyinafrica9463]

The real answer is cool it for lunch

[@greenskittles9909]

taylor0000027 YEA CATS FUCKING RULE!?!!

[@chisehatori3681]

I hope the woman that said 1 hour doesn't have any pets.

[@geniseangelesgenise9662]

yea

[@skylothesir6263]

true

[@kcblachere152]

ya! i was like ' ONE HOUR!! YOURE TRYING TO KILL THEM?! '

[@xxxlucyxxx8013]

Yeah

[@alailazapata2570]

+Kaia Blachere yeah she probably a car person

[@willieb.t.4929]

Dogs have gotten tired of waiting on their owners inside of hot cars. I have seen a few actually drive away in the new Subaru commercials.

[@boringpeach7957]

Lol

[@ls-gc1ht]

Hahahahaha omg this made my day 😂😂😂

[@sapphicsummers6420]

You made me smile for picture day. I'm in the line on my phone!

[@southernbeautyblogger]

[@leijasergio_2234]

Yeah with ac

[@MrUnicornsinmycereal]

southernbeautyblogger just a cracked window...

[@trexbattle]

Shmeegle Skates well you are human lol

[@vvictor2266]

Well you don't have fur and you can sweat

[@Notparisblankenboat]

There should be like a dog mode on cars or something

[@rubensana126]

Ill tell my uncle to do that!

[@gajiloxfeed1892]

+SwizelTheFox whats ur uncle job ?

[@rubensana126]

Gajilox Feed he makes "modes" for cars like Cold Mode, Hot Mode, etc.

[@deenalevin8758]

Yesssssssss

[@christapickles991]

yes there should be

[@CyberMachine]

Left my dog in the car for literally 2 minutes and she ate the buttons off the radio

[@animefan4058]

You didn't get a dog, you got a goat.

[@aerin5276]

+Anime Fan I'm crying 😂😂

[@kpopgoddess2313]

Lol😂😂

[@mazmaz6905]

That's what you get.

[@karlagallardo5400]

Mine like to mark it's traitor y ....by...peeing!

[@jesstomebbs3435]

The woman says i dunno maybe like an 1hour

[@l13x32]

Ikr she's horrible

[@jesstomebbs3435]

+Lozzy ikr..

[@TheRomanRuler]

+Lozzy Or she does not know better.

[@TheCrazyMango82]

She probably doesn't have a dog calm down

[@JediDanD]

One hour, she shouldn't be surprised when she comes back and finds are her car windows busted open . . . Edit: No, the dog isn't that strong. That's what any rational person would do; there's no time to wait when a dog is trapped in a hot car. Money can pay for new windows and pay for vandalism fines; money can't pay for dogs to come down from Heaven and return to their bodies.

[@MagicMercuryLapis]

Dogs are always in cars and it makes me sad when people leave them in for a few hours. Thank you for spreading awareness.

[@MagicMercuryLapis]

I am tempted too.

[@blackmax6882]

Mary W if you break the window that dog is going to bite you

[@sarah.lynch.]

Don't know what kind of dogs you encounter but I'm sure if you broke the window and didn't seem harmful towards the dog, it wouldn't bite you, it would feel relieved to see someone trying to help them, rather than being stuck in there from their terrible owner

[@starvingboyinafrica9463]

I makes me sad because I could have eaten it

[@TheStinkler]

Sarah Lynch how is banging on the window + smasing it not seeming harmful towards him, he may think you want to go and kill him

[@paawansagar8976]

The woman who said 1 hour, Facepalm. She should go in for that long to see what an hour feels like.

[@mackenzie4576]

She must not have a dog. Don't blame her, she has no experience.

[@Aj-sn1dp]

Mackenzie Jutz That's not an excuse. It's common sense that being in a confined space or any hot space at all isn't good. I garuntee she's been in a hot car before and should know already. You don't need a dog to figure that out especially when she's in California and most likely has to get into a hot car everyday.

[@maria-se3nt]

These people that we know brought their dog from reno (4 hours away) and we had my parents wedding then the next day (they stayed over ) I asked them hey where did u guys leave Ur dog yesterday (were not friends our parents just know each other ) their like in the car . I'm like 0-0 the whole day their Like yeaaaa I'm like Okk o-o

[@synthica6586]

With AC on? Lol they just said sit in the car. Never said can't turn on AC

[@jessorchard6198]

Ahjahnae Williams it is an excuse. If you don't have a dog you wouldn't have thought about it, because you wouldn't have to so if someone just randomly asked you, you would just think of a quick response without putting much thought into it.

[@GeakyGamerGirl]

Also if you think about it, a dog can't take it's fur off to get cooler., so she would be even hotter if she got into a full body suit and couldn't take it off, like dogs have.

[@tumblrbitch2896]

Shave your dog

[@User-rh2mw]

+TumblrBitch no

[@GeakyGamerGirl]

George W Kush what I was thinking when I saw her comment

[@llll1234100]

Actually, a dog's coat helps them by keeping the heat away and making them feel cooler.

[@valerietopping7962]

The only time my dogs are left in the car is when my dad goes in the store and I'm in the car with them with the air conditioning on and I also have water for them

[@samuraiboy94]

Did that lady save AN HOUR! ? Omg I pray she doesn't have a dog 😱

[@ariannaperez7947]

frr omfg

[@alysaur]

samuraiboy94 I was just about to say the *exact* same thing

[@MissCutiePie20]

samuraiboy94 The dog would be dead by then!!

[@brianareynosos3461]

Nobody likes Jamie 😂jk

[@marcchristian1039]

I don't have a dog but even 5 minutes is too long for me

[@heyitsnataliec]

WHEN SHE SAID AN HOUR I CRINGED SO HARD THESE PEOPLE NEED HELP

[@GoddessFourWinds]

HeyIt'sNatalieC She said "when it's 75." That's not even hot. If it's not going to get any hotter, there's no reason your dog shouldn't be fine at 75.

[@multiplatinum400]

***** But it's always a lot hotter in the car, than outside.

[@GoddessFourWinds]

Mashed Potato Tastes Like Onions No, it's not. If it was 55 last night, it's not going to be hotter in the car if it's just reached 75 now.

[@multiplatinum400]

***** I meant as if it was during the day when the temperature reaches it's peak, the car is always hotter as it insulates the heat and builds it up.

[@GoddessFourWinds]

Mashed Potato Tastes Like Onions I understand if it's 75 and it's going to be 100 later, but she only said "when it's 75." I lived in SoCal for 7 years. Most of the time, it was 72. Leaving a dog in the car would have been no big deal. I think, while yes, people need to be vigilant about safety, they also need to use common sense. I watched a video where they broke into someone's car that was parked in the shade with the windows open, and the dog was not in distress. The cops showed the temperature *on the dash* that was in the sun. It was completely misleading and hyped-up. /smh Yikes! One of my cats just brought me a headless snake! lol! Sorry. The joys of being a pet owner... My swamp cooler needs a new motor. (I live in the mountains, and air conditioners "freeze over" up here, so swamp coolers are the "A/C" of choice.) When it gets hot, it's hotter than hell in here. Although I'm in the mountains, I'm in the high desert. It's been in the mid 90's outside, and I haven't got a single tree. I know that's not as hot as a lot of places, but I don't see anyone breaking any of my windows to cool off my pets and me...js. :P

[@hollierebecca5021]

I saw a dog in a car parking lot with the windows all shut, the dog was panting rapidly. We called the police, who got the dog out and the owner got paid a fine. that was just a little story of my experience with this subject

[@DJoy221]

I turn into a real creep when I see dogs locked in a car to make sure that they aren't left in there for more than 5 minutes.

[@justtrash1992]

Same😂

[@Dunnygirl21]

them and children. in fact i get my phone ready just in case.

[@empresshappywolf216]

That girl that said an hour really bugs me.😑

[@no.6649]

Lmao everyone was saying five minutes and she says an hour.

[@sarahleisinger1966]

She probably never had an animal before, so she didn't think about it... Ever?

[@grnaskd]

empresshappywolf216 That's the reason for these videos. She was ill-informed now her as well as the 978521 people that have seen will know and will pass the information along to 978521 more people. Not everybody, myself included is an animal owner and these concerns never come up.

[@elainebaliscao4278]

True. Maybe she doesn't have a dog? Hehe

[@carlsmith3887]

My dad left my dog in the car for over an hour with it off and the windows up and he was fine

[@ellas246]

Also the dogs she had are dogs with normal breathing systems but if you have a dog with baos like a bulldog then they can barely be left in the car for a minute

[@deepSea__]

Ella s Or a pug.

[@joeyy6190]

dogs101o if you own a pug you're a terrible person imo

[@joeyy6190]

dogs101o The reason why I didn't say that is because the way pugs are breaded (breaded ?? is that a word) is cruel :)

[@deepSea__]

najm joey Oh, okay.I know about that. But if you know how bull dogs were breed (that is how you say it) you would freak. It is a sad thing we do, but those dogs do go to shelters and do not deserve to die there.

[@deepSea__]

***** They may be cute but we ruined their life with our horrible desires.

[@secrethumanmachine]

i'll never leave my dog in the car cause i feel like someone will steal him

[@ticcicasey5195]

THANK YOU!! This video is so important! My old dog died in a car because my dad left him in there for 15 mins. It was so sad, people need to be educated so things like that don't happen!

aww rip

Thanks. :,)

Screw it, I'll just take them in the store

[@craftcatsmeow143]

That would be awesome

[@caitlynfletcher3249]

most stores, you cant have animals.

[@b1merio]

Rodney Morgan Or you could carry a leash and tie them to a sign or the side-view mirror. Use your noggin' if you wanna keep that dog a lovin' :P

[@elizabethumanzor]

b1merio someone will steal my dogs.

[@elizabethumanzor]

Rodney Morgan one time i had my chihuahua, and i tried going into walmart with my dog, but some mean security guard told me i couldn't bring him. so i just put him in my jacket... and as soon as i got in the store let his face out. lol

[@tommyle6716]

How long can you leave your dog in the car? You dont

[@animeirl5265]

where did you get that picture?!

Tommy Le unless your car is a convertible and the roof is down.

[@gecolegoechobob123]

[@elizabethfolk1928]

My thoughts exactly

[@MHS-us1qv]

What do I do? I drive home and leave my dog there and then go back. A life is more important than anything.

[@Musiclovergirl1232]

praise

[@emerald9194]

It depends how long you leave it and how hot the day is. Personally I would try not to be longer than five minutes.

[@basic204]

What if it winter and its ice cold outside ? how long can you leave the dog in the car now ?

[@yasugi0153]

That's a good question

[@SpikeFinch]

basic204 Then it's cool!

[@mayerlinlabiosa3899]

M

[@gravements]

basic204 It gets slightly or more colder then outside temperature depending on where you live.

[@roisinosullivan2839]

i live in ireland and all year round vets say its ok to leave the dog in the car unless it 15°c +.which is nearly impossible in winter and in summet it might reach(on a day about 1/10) up to 25°c in a car.which is too hot for a dog

[@cc-ui1hw]

i don't know who that vet is but weirdly i trust him

[@BameronCerry]

***** Smooth jazz

[@vcxz4009]

***** I don't know

[@lynnelee5517]

THANK YOU BUZZFEED FOR ADDRESSING THIS ♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡ DO NOT LEAVE BABIES OR ANIMALS IN THE CAR. If you have to run in real quick then I think it's fine to leave your animal in the car as long as the car is running and the air is on. Treat your pets like you would treat your child.

[@dogedoge4547]

Comes back to car to see car stolen, same with dog, for leaving car running.

[@atomicwaffle420]

Jenny Ke you can lock your doors when the car is running lol

[@schmeaf_]

TylerTheGamer unless you don't have an extra key..

[@schmeaf_]

***** do you own any pets? If you do then you should understand that a pet is as valuable as your child. You love it as much and you treat it as well

[@LittleLulubee]

TylerTheGamer Most people don't carry 2 carkeys when they go out driving. So if the keys are inside and you lock the doors, you won't be able to get back in. Also, someone could still pick the lock and take off with your car and dog. It's NEVER worth putting your dog in danger of kidnapping.

[@isthisthekrustykrab4895]

I can't believe you guys bring your dogs to work!!

[@anniepintang9751]

+Rose LIFE ikr!

[@just_landonn2109]

I would brake the window to save an animal I don't have care if it's illegal it's saving a life

[@bluejay9361]

Agreed

[@tds9058]

I remember seeing an article of someone breaking a window. They got sued later for damaging the car.

[@zionnuby842]

Zopper THANK YOU

[@mscraftyperson]

why would you leave a dog in a car? Its really hot and they will die.

[@dommcmx7060]

You basically just summarised the video you Moron

[@Fivehe]

Thanks for summing up the video, I should just read your comments next time instead of watching!

[@Wikrin]

mscraftyperson It's only hot if you live someplace with an unreasonable climate. If it's 50f, it's not a problem. If it's 70f, yeah, don't take them with you.

[@avoidcontact88]

mscraftyperson Just because you say it's really hot, doesn't mean it is. For example, where I live it's not hot and I can leave my dog in the car for extended periods of time. She likes riding in the car and when I can take her inside places I do, but she is in no danger staying the car where I live.

[@randomguy9580]

It is no problem for my family, we just open a window a little bit because we don't live in America.

[@truththekid]

Please let the dogs out Woof Woof woof🐶🚘 😂😂

[@sneezen5785]

[@maelstrom197]

I'm fine, I'm in the UK. The biggest risk is the dog dying of boredom.

[@hhhwhat9472]

Agreed!

[@grace-pu4jw]

I live in the UK too and on hot days I let my puppy stay at home and three fans in every room on a high place so my dogs always cool

[@lobster3774]

Seriously summer in the uk is also cold

[@kaygow8184]

I'm in the UK too!!

[@lucyclemmow561]

I live in the uk...my dog only pants when I take him out😂

[@babsabat]

Reminder that in California, if you feel an animal's life is in danger, you are legally allowed to break down a window if you think no other methods would work on time. You shouldn't get any bad consequences for it.

[@smashurpumpkins]

Really? well, i'm in Michigan and I wish we had that law...

[@rosierhapsody4308]

+Impossably_Weird im from michigan too o;

[@smashurpumpkins]

+Rosiedewdrop arts and productions cool!

[@dedalliance1]

The consequence is getting shot for busting out someone's window, actually.

[@trevorjefferson4840]

Ally Bab someone at what if they busted your windows open, because they suspected you were doing something illegal, and turned out to be wrong? BTW: it may be legal, but you should finish reading up on how the law actually works. Should you turn out to have been incorrect in your judgement call... you’ll be paying for someone’s new window, and possibly a new car.

[@PJemus]

'the answer is 'never''' wat? 'never' is not an amount of time...

[@jaymiegunn2740]

Oh I'm sorry would you like it simplified for you? THE TIME TOU CAN LEAVE AN ANIMAL IN A CAR IS ZERO HOURS ZERO MINUTES!!!!!!!!!

[@user-cn5nj4in6j]

***** 1 trillion milliseconds then you fucking doughnut

[@Flyingpurplezebras]

Smith Bob You do realize that One Trillion Milliseconds is equivalent to about 32 years?

[@OkeyVision]

MiloticGardevoir 31.688yrs to be exact can i get a cookie now that was hard work

[@Merlinose]

***** so when you get out of the car to open the door to let your dog out youve already left him in to long? so put that window down , throw the dog out of the window and then exit yourself? :S

[@sheighpullen3747]

This also goes for children. Don't leave your children or pets in the car, if you plan on running a quick errand then take them with you or leave them home! It's sickening to read stories about how children or pets die because they were left in the car. Don't do it, it's not worth them losing their lives!

[@MylkT1023]

Sheigh Pullen Wait, People actually leave their kids in the car????

[@sheighpullen3747]

MylkT1023 Sadly they do, I live in Arizona. One of the most horrific stories I have read was a father PURPOSELY left his son in the car. He looked up how long it takes for a dog to get hot in the car etc. They do it all the time and it's horrible. If I see a child or pet in a hot car screw calling the cops I will break their window if it means saving their life!

[@sheighpullen3747]

MylkT1023 Well as she explained people get distracted that's why it's never, ever a good idea to leave kids or pets in a hot car.

[@Abigail-py3vk]

When I was just 9 years old, my old babysitter would go in to the nail salon or store with just my sister, leaving me and my 12 year-old autistic brother alone in her car. IIRC she'd leave the windows up to "protect" us, but probably mostly to protect the contents of her car. She was awful. This just goes to show that this is important knowledge for everyone to have, not just parents or pet owners. We'd be in the car for usually an hour but I can't imagine if we were in there for two.

[@sir.potato6657]

Also goes with potatoes, we are a magnificent kind aren't we?

[@totallyspieswinxclub]

it made me so happy just watching the dogs run around Buzzfeed 😭😊

[@Kerberos.Cosplay]

I saw a dog in a car at my school and I was like NOOOO then I remembered it was like 3 degrees C.

[@b1merio]

Call animal control and wait for help to arrive? Screw that noise; it's window smashing time :P

[@MylkT1023]

b1merio Take a picture of the dog in the car along with the temperature! If you have to screencap the weather temperature, thats fine. THEN you smash the window and help. This not only protects you from the cops arresting you for damage to private property but it will also get the owner in trouble for animal negligence and abuse!

[@b1merio]

+MylkT1023 Now that's using your gray matter!

[@ryleeroo]

b1merio There's been times when people have broken a window only to get arrested for vandalism. That's why they showed all of the states at the end; unfortunately there aren't many laws protecting people in situations like this.

[@ryleeroo]

Smith Bob wut

[@Squeaky2238]

Smith Bob WHY?

[@MsAquamonkey]

On the hottest day of the year here, I almost got heatstroke, and that was from only sitting, in a moving car, for thirty minutes. I got really dizzy, almost threw up, and felt really sick. I had to sit in the shade for ages, and drink loads of drinks to feel better. Was miles away from any hospitals too. Cannot image how bad it can get for dogs. :(

[@MsAquamonkey]

At least your honest. ;)

[@MsAquamonkey]

You're welcome.

[@PneumaticFrog]

How many degrees?

[@logansears7789]

When I leave my dog in the car my mom leaves the car on. Or I get left with my dog in my moms car to make sure he is ok.

[@kad2270]

Also keep in mind the layer of fur.

[@emmaouyang544]

Real answer- There is no amount of time you should leave a dog in the car. You just shouldn't try it.

[@gracepeng1]

Hi emma

[@emmaouyang544]

FTWSUWIWDKF :)

[@justinxdftw]

If I see a dog in a car on a hot day, I'm taking a rock and smashing that windshield to save the poor dog and then calling animal control

[@184rama]

Justinxdftw What sucks is that you could get in trouble for doing that, depending where you are from

[@myfallenlove]

You're suppose to take a picture of the degree out along with the animal and car. It's suppose to protect you from any legal trouble.

[@zerdodylan]

Yeah lots of people would call the cops on that

[@MylkT1023]

myfallenlove Not only that, but because of the evidence, the pet owner will be charged and fined and possibly even have their animal taken away depending on how long the animal has been in the car

[@deepSea__]

Justinxdftw Don't forget get sued, pay a fine, pay for damages, go to court, get a lawyer and possibly pay for more money due to the possibility of losing.

[@naiikki2442]

how long can you leave a dog in the car: nEVER

[@uhmax5066]

YOU DONT LEAVE A DOG IN THE CAR

[@reaper432]

what about the times you have no choice? More businesses and shops only allow service dogs now a days and that number only grows

[@nayla7982]

Death Panda you go home and drop the dog off

[@SplashesKwikSand]

What if you're travelling and going home isn't an option? Sometimes you literally have no choice. Of course, if/when you stop, it's for a quick pee and then go. And for getting gas, only idiots would leave the window up. I, for one, would have the window down so my dog could see what I'm doing if she so desires.

[@zig3]

Ever or when it's hot?

[@brunettesweetie21]

why do people keep saying that if they'd see a dog in a car they'd smash the window.. have you ever tried to smash a car window before? you might injure the dog or yourself badly while your at it with broken glass shattering everywhere.. there are other options you know

[@d.n.3652]

Lol true and they might scare the dog and the dog would probably attack. You're a dog minding your own business and some weirdo comes with a rock and smashes the window and your first instinct is to attack.

[@enrique0674]

Well if that's the only option it's better to be injured a bit than die

[@melotoole6821]

I like your attitude ^

[@jonesnj07]

brunettesweetie21 car glass is designed not to shatter into sharp shards, it will break into little dull pieces, not causing any harm.

[@05khanha]

brunettesweetie21 Breaking window is not that hard. Its a parking lot, you can get any tool from your car. If all else fails climb on the hood and one stomp on the windshield and its done.

[@Travii12345]

What if you see the poor dog almost dieing and panting like crazy and decide to break the window to save it ? Is it illegal ? I mean we would save a baby why not a dog ? And I live in Florida so i wouldnt think twice about the temperature being to hot . Btw just leave your dog at home instead its cruel to leave it in a hot car .

[@syn1656]

m Maci You need to take a picture of the dog in the car and the temperature first for proof, then you can smash the window. That makes it so that you don't get in to any trouble for it.

[@H1NCH023]

I would write a note as well ;)

In L.A the weather seems to be very bipolar right now and most of us wear jackets because it does get cold at random times.

[@casinokeepergaming9001]

+lifestyxo do you mean 50-60 degrees? that's normal weather

[@Lakota828]

I wear a (light) jacket when it's 104 out. My personal thing... I like to be completely covered. Also, I was under the impression that the actual outside temperature was around 75 or so (she stated earlier.) Inside the car, it would already be 84 degrees and just continue climbing as time went on.

[@maddiecrawley8731]

People are different though. We sweat to cool ourselves, but dogs can only pant. Like they explained in the video, the panting makes them even more overheated.

[@xxSupernaturalGalxx]

Thank you Buzzfeed for making this video. This is so important, It's sickening to see how many times I've seen someone lock an animal or a small child in the car. Once I saw a dog locked in a car on a humid day. I immediately tried finding the owners of said vehicle, and another bystander called emergency services. It was 10 mins (since we spotted the dog in the car, who knows how long he/she was actually inside for) and the owners nor the police had arrived at the scene. I was freaking out, but the other fellow that was with me broke the window of the car and got the dog safely out. Thankfully the dog was okay, but it was incredibly neglectful for the owners to leave their pet trapped in there. For those people who still leave there pets/children unsupervised in the car with no AC, don't be surprised if you come back to a car that has received damages from having been broken into.

[@talonmeier1578]

"Uhh like an hour I guess" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Whereiskyjah]

They should start making like a section in the store where you can drop off your dog so it won't have to sit in the car🐕

[@rachelle2227]

Good idea, only it could be expensive. I could see it as being a business by a large shopping mall, though. The option to bring your dog in and pay a fee to keep your dog there. It wouldn't be ideal, since then you'd have to pay, but some people may need their dogs there because they are on a trip or something. Nothing like that would be free.

[@narissahowell7488]

I LOVE that idea, I mean at least a bunch of poles to tie your dog to. But it'd have to be like chuck e cheeses, a supervisor would have to stamp your hand and put a tag on your dog to make sure no one steals/ditches any dogs. If Any store does this that's the only place in shopping at!

[@tayk.t.523]

Kyjah Allen That would be awesome, like paying a dollar to keep your dog there, but what if the dogs get into a fight?

[@narissahowell7488]

Taylor Toham I'd image it'd be 5$ and the dogs would be kept apart by leashes or crates. But on a second thought, I might not trust leaving my dog there. I mean what if someone else brought their sick dog there and it gets mine sick.. and just trusting a random employee that may or may not like animals with my dog. :|

[@KokeyMcCormickkk]

Narissa Howell a bunch of poles to tie your dog to? What a silly idea, dogs fight. If anything, there should be a doggy daycare if not then there shouldn't be anything at all.

[@chloemalcolm6447]

[@GoddessFourWinds]

123DwyaneWade456 If it's 75, no dog is going to get heat stroke and die.

[@atomicwaffle420]

123DwyaneWade456 then you get arrested for vandalism.

[@hannahmitchell431]

The dog will die if you leave it in a car at 75 degrees because the car creates a greenhouse effect which means it gets hot very quickly which will clearly cause heat stroke, brain damage ect it's the same with children. Do not leave your dog in a car at 75 degrees or even anything over 45 degrees and always leave the windows down so there is a constant flow of fresh air.

[@Ray33416]

+Katelynn Pearce they're trying to make a point. One is not more important than the other, a life is a life. Besides, a dog is a lot more likely to be left in a hot car because a lot of people don't think of their pets as a valued life..which is sad

[@Iloveturkiye-mp5ee]

The beatles say it’s okay so imma side with them

[@maddymoney8269]

When I was in Paris ( I was 11 at the time ) I was waiting in the car with all the windows down for my parents as they went into the shops. We had also left the air conditioning on so it wasn't hot. I waited for about 30 minutes and in the car next to me there was a puppy in a car where all the windows were completely up. He was panting and genuinely looked like he was about to die. I got out the car and sprinted into the shop and fetched the manager. I told him the license plate of the car and he announced over the speakers that there was a dog left in the car. I went back to my car and around 5 minutes later a man ran out of the shop and took the dog and tied him to a lamppost while he continued shopping. I felt proud of what I'd done :)

[@jordeecakes]

That would be so sad if you came back to your car and your dog was dead :,(

+SHARE H!S V!S!0N If it's not a hot day then they are better off in the car rather than tied up IMO

[@afan9297]

Leaving ur dog in a car and leaving ur dog outside without u are both really dangerous, when u leave ur dog outside the store, u don't know what's happening, someone could have taken ur dog and ran away.

[@lolabug4030]

Someone could steal your dog if you do that

[@anniestarknight1872]

So you would rather have then tied up outside on the hot asphalt where they can get burns on their pads, people can steal them, and you have no idea what they or people are up to? Why not just leave you vehicle running with a cup of water and the AC on for the dog. You can even lock you vehicle. That way you know they have water and cool air. And if your extremely worried about someone busting your window leave a note and set a timer on your phone so you can go out and check on them every few minutes.

[@sythlorde]

Annie Starknight Sure, the street is not that hot in the summer especially, have you ever slept on the street? doesnt get that hot, and my dog would kill anyone who tried to take him away. im not talking about a small dog. and if you are gone for such a long time that you need to set up a timer or do whatever else nonsense you are talking about- then leave your dog at home.

My family try's to take are dogs with us as much as possible because they are are family too and I think it's sad that u can't always take ur dogs into the stores or restaurants u go to and they are in the car hot or even freezing to death. But dogs should be trained and safe so that u can do this because we don't want ur dogs to fight with someone else's pets or run away . Keep them safe as if they are ur kids because mine are my kids even though I'm 11 💞💞

[@CheesyChels4]

"Never"? Like come on..I am a HUGE dog lover and I specialize in these amazing guys, but there are situations where you have to leave them in your vehicle for a small amount of time. It depends the temperature and the location and the car and dog breed etc. But yes, leaving them in your car in a weather hotter than 75 degree day longer than 15 minutes is cruel.

My dogs love car rides, but here in Australia it gets pretty freaking hot. The longest I've left my dogs in the car was about 10 minutes with my sister in there as well. All the windows and sunroof were open (not enough to let them out of course) and and the car was still running (air con was on). Also I have floor compartments in my car, and I keep a dog bowl and bottles of water in there for them.

[@beccaesten7709]

Once I was at Walmart with my mom and when we were leaving we saw a dog in the car with no windows open at all and by the way it was really hot it was like 85 degrees fahrenheit so when we saw the dog we checked to see if the windows were open and none were so my mom called 911

[@cobra8461]

I live in washington so its really not hot often at all and I'm always against leaving my dog in the car but when I absolutely HAVE to, I have a battery powered fan in the trunk that I blow towards them.

[@ConcreteAngelx3]

+Michelle Miller that's a good idea

[@jenniferscott7209]

My dog is incredibly trained and she on obeys my dad no matter what, and it really depends on how big the store is or whatever but she usually just waits outside if it's a local shop but if it's larger and more people are walking about there then she gets attached with her lead to like a pole or usually there is an actual loop thing to attach leads to. She is never left in the car on her own.

[@ambercornwell7145]

I do occasionally leave my dog in the car, under specific conditions -- if the temp is 65 or cooler and it's dark out; or if it's 45-50, I'm comfortable leaving them for a few minutes during the day. The only time NOT meeting those conditions that I left him in the car, I was driving alone to FL and absolutely had to stop for a bathroom break (9 hour drive). Even then, I parked in the shade, cracked the windows, and basically ran to the restroom.

[@shane324]

How about you bring it in the store or leave it at home?

[@MylkT1023]

Shane King depending on the situation. 90% of stores will not allow a dog in the store. the only ones who are allowed to are service dogs. Also some owners live alone and feel anxious or panicked if they leave the dog alone. Maybe some dogs arent supposed to be left unsupervised because they poo or pee in the house or eat things they arent supposed to, or overall possibly endanger themselves.

[@brunettesweetie21]

MylkT1023 if someones dog is behaving like that when home alone there is always the option of buying a crate and crate training your dog, so you can put them in there while your out and know they won't get into something they shouldnt

[@MylkT1023]

brunettesweetie21 Im just stating possibilities. Im not condoning it as good or bad

[@brunettesweetie21]

MylkT1023 i know im just saying.. crate training a dog is a good option to be able to leave it home alone and not have to bring it into the car with you because you dont trust it alone

When my mum was getting my puppy(who is my profile picture) she said she needed puppy food for him but dogs weren't allowed in the store and she couldn't leave him in a car because he was 5 weeks old so she took him in with a blanket and pretended he was a baby and so much people thought it was a baby that everyone said that looks like a tiny baby, but they look and they laughed really LOUD. It was so cute💖💖💖
