Left my dog in A/C car for 6 minutes and came back to lady on the phone with police chewed me out Am I wrong Was she wrong Read Comment
As a professional badminton coach, I'm often on the go and my dog often accompanies me. Recently, I stopped at a store and left my dog in the car with the air conditioning running for about 6 minutes. When I returned, a woman was on the phone with the police and she gave me a stern talking-to.
She claimed that leaving a dog in a car, even with the air conditioning running, is dangerous and could lead to the dog overheating or even dying. She also said that it's illegal in my state to leave a dog unattended in a car.
I understand her concern, but I don't think I was wrong to leave my dog in the car for such a short period of time. The air conditioning was running and the windows were cracked, so the car was not hot. Additionally, my dog is very well-behaved and doesn't get anxious when I leave him alone.
However, I can see how the woman might have been concerned, especially if she didn't know that the air conditioning was running. I think it's always best to err on the side of caution when it comes to leaving your dog in a car. If you're going to be gone for more than a few minutes, it's best to leave your dog at home or bring him inside with you.
