I'm all for the pets and taking care of them but this 'issue' has brought out some seriously self-rightous people.

I was sitting in my car while the GF ran inside a CVS to grab some stuff. In the adjacent parking spot some guy had just picked up his dog from the groomers next door. He puts the dog in the dog in his truck and hops in. After a few seconds, he hops out and ran back into the groomers. He was gone maybe 1-2 minutes. In this time a woman walking into the pharmacy sees the dog in the car and looses her mind. On the phone and screaming. She see's me watching her and decides the drag me into it. The owner comes out and she's one step away from assulting this guy. Poor bastard is shocked, just taking her abuse...

Turns out he had paid for his dog's hair cut and left his wallet on the register. After the screaming match had drawn a nice sized crowd a rent-a-cop showed up to assess the situation. By the time he showed up the dog was sitting on the curb and a few of the girls were giving it water. The GF finally finishes up getting her meds and comes out looking at me. At this point I'm laughing. I get out of the car and explain to her what is going on, and how long the dog was actually in the vehicle. She is shocked and the cop is looking at me with a blank stare. "You people are all jack asses, complaining about a dog left in a car for less than 2 minutes! Hell, she (points at GF) left me in the car for almost 20 minutes!"
