1. If that dog lived in Florida, that woman would have been railed by passerbyers.

Leaving dogs and children in cars is not acceptable.

3. fwiw the dog is not panting. at all.

and the car seems to be in the shade.

10. Remote start is pretty standard on late model BMW's.

The steering wheel has the BMW emblem.

Almost all (possibly all) of the luxury brands have made remote start standard for several years now, and optional for somewhere around a decade. Even most economy brands now offer it as at least part of an option package.

Most dogs LOVE going on car rides. Most places don't appreciate or even allow dogs inside.

For my own 4-legged kids, this feature on my own car allows me to take them on more car rides to places than I would have before this technology. Although I still limit those trips to ones where they'll be in the car for only a short period of time with the car running.

15. It's about the heat that accumulates inside a car, even if the window is slightly open.

16. Heat doesn't accumulate if the car (and AC) are running.

The video was about the pup giving her attitude when she returned to the car. The video didn't give enough information on if she'd turned it off and left the pup in, or used a fairly common feature of remote start to keep the AC going for the pup.

If she turned the car off, and left her dog in the car.. even if the windows were cracked, she's completely in the wrong. In that regard, we totally agree.

I bring this up because I did deal with a well-meaning idiot at the grocery store on this very issue. The temperature in the car was at a temperature regulated at 68 degrees with a very good AC running, and 2 very happy and comfortable rescue dogs inside.

2. The windows are up. I'm kind of pissed at her too.

4. hmmmm

I guess I don't think children and pets should be left in cars.....perhaps the dog is legitimately disgusted

5. Poor Bubby.

Momma is MEAN!

6. I was in my San Diego supermarket and the PA system

said to shoppers, " Whoever has a so-and-so car model with plate number so-and-so please go to your car. Your dog is in it". Everyone in the store turned and looked to see who might be the pet's careless owner. This is like leaving a child in a hot car...cruel.

7. I think Bubby must be deaf (or something else is wrong)

Owner should get the dog checked out by a vet.
Dogs don't usually pout like this, once the owner returns to the car.
This isn't normal dog behavior.

Just sayin'

9. Years ago, we had a dog

who pouted when we left her. She would not look at us. She was alone very seldom. There was usually an adult and several children in the house. She played in the fenced yard with the kids and did not stray. At first, we left her outside in the fenced yard with her dog house. After we learned she could be trusted in the house for a few hours, we left her inside.

The pouting was funny, but understandable. She loved car rides, too, and felt so left out!

12. My Basset was like that.

He took being left behind at home even for 30 minutes personally, and just lived for car rides.

This isn't him; but it's just like him, and the way he got when he knew he was staying behind (and he knew - no need to tell him):

"Don't talk to me.......Okay, I'll take a scratch behind the ears though."

14. Any time I leave the house without her my dog pouts.

11. Dogs have the same emotions people do

and are very capable of pouting and snubbing.

8. Hey! My ex treated me like that.

Well, I probably deserved it too.
