I am not sure if your city has this law, but here if a dog is locked in a hot car and appears to be in distress, you have every legal right to smash the window and help the dog.

We have the same law here as well. Atleast I'm pretty sure we do.

That's horrible Perhaps you can try the police dept. and see if they can do anything? It seems around here police are very helpful for these kinds of situations.

If the dog is still there, I would take a water bottle, and aim the water through the little opening to at least get the dog a little wet. The owner might get mad at the wet dog and car.. but if it'll keep the dog cooler, then I really wouldn't care if I pissed off the owner.

It's almost 5:30. That Husky has been in the van for almost TWO hours now. The Humane Society is now closed - so they're no use either.

I'd be a bit nervous to call the police.. I hate getting involved in things. =\

Call the police!! The worst they can do is refuse to do anything.

I called the police one Sunday when the animal shelter was closed about a dog running loose on a busy street (I couldn't catch him) and they helped.

I can understand if an owner has their dog with them and needs to make a quick stop to pick up a thing or two. But two hours! That's abuse! I, too, would be nervous to call the police, but if the owners don't come soon and read the note then you should. You may be nervous but this is for a dog who has been stuck in a hot car for two hours.
