I think that you could leave a dog in the car for around 10min if it isn't that hot out. When we take our dogs one person stays in the car so that they still have the air condition on but we know that the car won't get stolen. IMO if it is 100+ outside then it could be 130+ in the car. I don't think that a dog would be comfortable in the car for 5min in that heat. If it is cold outside (I mean 40 or less) then the dog should be able to stay in the car for around 30min if they are a medium size dog like a Retriever or husky. If they are small like a toy dog or something then they shouldn't be left in the car for more than 10min. Dogs have a different heat control system in their body so it might feel comfortable to us but it could be blazing to them. I just think that the dog should be left alone for more than 15min in any case. Just my opinion.


Once I saw a dog in the front seat of the car but they owner had left the AC on while they went inside to eat at a Fast food resteraunt. I think that seemed kinda nice and a little funny to see a dog in the front seat looking like it is driving. Well I hope I covered everything here.
I tried not to start an arguement but please forgive me if I did. I am still a kid who doesn't like to be proven wrong.
