Mom and I were at WalMart today...as I waited by the front door for her, I heard yapping, like smaller dogs. I shaded my eyes and scanned several rows of cars. They were loud enough that I figured they had the windows down part way.
It was 30 C here today, 86F and hot glaring sun, hardly a breeze.
Mom and I had been in the store no more than 10 minutes when the announcement came clear and direct, and NOT friendly: "The owners of [car type] license number ##### - your dogs are in distress. Take care of your dogs, or we will call the police."
Next time I will have a better look - and thank goodness someone reported it. There were two guys who came into the store about the same time I did, and one said something about the 'dogs settling down' or something.
Don't wanna judge - but they struck me as the type that only the threat of police action would make them do the right thing.
I didn't hear the dogs when we left. In a way, I hope the cops did show up and remove those dogs from their 'owners'. :(
But - it is great that someone cared enough to report them, and I learned to check things out better.
