Why do people think its ok to take their animals shopping when really hot outside and leave them in a hot car. How would you like it if someone left you in a hot car with all the windows closed?

I think people need to understand if they are going shopping for a long period of time
dont bring your pet! they dont want to be stuck in a car!
and if you stop for a short time, LEAVE THE A/C RUNNING!! Even a few minutes in a hot vehicle can kill a dog, and the windows being "cracked" does nothing! I cant even sit in a vehicle on a hot day with just the windows "cracked". How would a dog be able to handle that?!

What if you're on your way home from the doggie daycare, and you have an emergency? What if you're driving around with your dog, and you suddenly realize you forgot something? What if your dog is in the car, and your child suddenly has to go to the bathroom? There's many reasons why you could need to enter a business while you have your dog in the car that can't be foreseen when you leave your house. Putting the blame on the consumers is a way to lazily avoid the root of the problem, which is that dogs aren't allowed in businesses. The fact that they're being left in cars is in direct result of the original problem.
We need to change our way of thinking here. Besides, nearly every business in town would allow a seeing eye dog through its doors, why should able-bodied people be punished? Make the pet owner responsible for any damage the pet causes, and allow them in the store. That would solve this problem without relying on the city to issue a bunch of tickets.

What about emergencies, though? Have you ever had anything happen to you during your day that you could not plan for? There is absolutely no way that anybody could reasonably be expected to plan for every event that could possibly happen when they leave their house--to expect them to is to be completely unreasonable.
You've completely ignored my response that if dogs would be allowed in businesses, then we'd never have to leave another pet in a car again. We have to think outside the box here, TJ. Every business in town will allow a seeing eye dog inside, why not allow all dogs inside the business and make the pet owner responsible for the damages? Under this ruling, there is no situation where a dog would have to be left in a car, regardless of whatever unexpected emergency may occur.

How am I grasping at straws? You are the one who is looking only at one possibility, and ignoring anything else that could happen. Yes, if somebody is planning on going shopping, they should not bring their dog. I am in agreement with you there. However, there are lots of scenarios in which something could happen which could not be foreseen. This is not grasping at straws, this is stating a fact. Nobody has the foresight to be able to predict every possible outcome of every possible activity.
You've also continued to ignore the point I am trying to make. We could eliminate the need entirely for a dog to ever be left in a car by allowing them inside businesses. How much sense does it make that I am allowed to bring my dog into a gas station if I am blind, but not if I have full sight? It's sad that the answer is right in front of our eyes, and yet some in society, as shown by the comments on this page, remain much too obtuse to even acknowledge it.

Easy, just make the pet owner responsible for any damage the misbehaving pet commits. I'd say there are a number of children that aren't trained to behave themselves (I once saw a child run up and bite a stranger in the back of the thigh at a large department store in Cornerstone), but I don't see any shops in town that have signs up that say "No Kids."
And parking in the shade would definitely help, but I'm not sure if people would see it an enough. For the others posting in this thread: if a dog were locked in a car, and the car were parked in the shade, would you be okay with it?
