Right Or Wrong? Leaving Pets In The Car

Is it okay to leave your pet in the car for a couple minutes if the windows are down?

It's one of the hottest days of the year, with temperatures breaking 90 degrees.

On a hot day like today, would you leave your dog in the car for five minutes while running into a sandwich shop? One pet owner answered 'yes' in that scenario and left her poodle unattended in her car with the windows down at Bayshore Town Center Thursday afternoon.

One concerned passerby saw the dog in the car and came into the store to tell the girl she was irresponsible for leaving the dog in the car – even though it was only for five minutes.
