Two crows carrying off a small dog Boy - now think, that means that two crows got together, worked together (cooperation) and planned out how to help each other obtain a meal................animals may be smarter than we realize. And as we are evolving, they are also evolving.

This morning, we received an email. It’s sad, but it’s important to read….
Hi Mayor. I had an unfortunate experience yesterday and I feel horrible, like I have never felt before. I left my dog in my car yesterday to run a quick errand, and when I came back, he was dead. I ran into Safeway, only for about 10 minutes and didn’t realize it was so hot outside. When I came back my best friend was dead. I even parked in the shade but he still died.
I want to know if you will warn others about leaving dogs in cars on hot days. Death happens so fast. I wish I could take it all back. I am just crushed and can’t imagine what he went through.

The topic here isn't whether or not dogs are wild animals or domesticated pets. Under the scope of this discussion we are clearly talking about people leaving their pets unattended.
We are also not debating whether or not a human suffering is worse than a dog suffering.

The moral of the story is: when you choose to take on the responsibility of pet ownership, fulfill your obligations. It's not like people are forced into having a dog. It is a choice to own a dog and some people should just choose not to.

Have you ever owned a dog?
We had a family pet dog when I was a child, and yes, she was lovely.
But, I certainly wouldn't have any pet at all now for the reasons I've already outlined.
I think it's selfish and unfair.
I would much rather observe animals in their natural habitat behaving in the ways they are meant to behave.
So you've never owned a dog personally. You've just been around your family's dog. Therefore, never owning a dog and having an opinion other than actual dog owners make you a troll.
And don't give that crap about well it's natures way of feeding its own BS. Like I said, if that were the case, I'd be eating people like you instead of going to the market for food.

I'm not sure of your reasoning here. There are some dogs that love vehicles so much that they'll jump into the car or truck the moment the door is open. My 2 big dogs stay home, they don't like vehicles, but my shihtzu loves the ride, and is fine in the truck (in the cab). He has water, food, a blanket, and the climate is not hot. In the winter people keep their vehicles running when they go in shopping, so the heat stays on. No whining, crying, barking, or anything that would show he doesn't like it. He just watches every thing going on, looking very happy.

We used to have a big rottweiller that would jump into the truck and stay there if you were working out in the yard. The door would be wide open, and he wouldn't get out. He loved it in there. I had a friend with a convertible once, and anytime the dog went outside, he jumped into the car and stayed there. It's not abusive if they like it there.
