Dog locked inside red Pontiac with the windows up at Walmart

By Billie Owens

A dog or dogs are locked inside a red Pontiac with the windows up near the food entrance of Walmart. An animal control officer is responding to the complaint.

UPDATE 1:30 p.m.: The owner was paged and the officer advised the person about the danger of leaving a dog in a car with the windows up.

Any responsible pet owner would know not to leave a pet in a car with the windows up.
Please leave your pet at home if you are going some place you can't take your pet.

Bob,

I have a better idea: Lock the pet owners in the car with the windows up, and no ignition key so they can't start the car and turn the A/C on.

After all, their pets weren't left the ignition key so THEY could start the car and turn the A/C on!

I wouldn't publish the names or the license plate information of the dog owners in these cases because they are not arrested and charged with a crime. I do hope that some "sunshine" helps deter this practice.
