Okay, so I'm totally ticked off because I went to the grocery store on Saturday and as I'm coming out, I hear a dog letting out a miserable cry! Its so loud that everyone walking in the parking lot keeps looking in the direction of the cry. The heat index is at least 100 degrees so I'm sweating instantly but my love for dogs made me follow the cries to see if someone was actually cruel enough to have left a dog in their car while they went into the grocery store. AND JUST AS I SUSPECTED....SOMEONE HAD!
They parked their car in the shade and had the window down completely but this dog was still panting heavily and drooling from the heat!
I immediately grabbed my phone & called the Humana Society. Unfortunately, this place has just continued to prove over the years that they are useless to animals in danger. I get an automated answering service and then I'm prompted to dial an extension for animal cruelty. I dial the extension just to have to leave a message! I was soooo annoyed. SO, who do we call in the case of an emergency like this one?
By this time, a woman comes walking toward the car and she begins to look nervous as she sees me on the phone and standing near her car looking at her with disgust. She rushes by me and jumps in the car.
I look at her license plate and then head for my car.
I wanted to say something to her but I was way to angry to speak and I knew it would not have turned out well if I had spoken.
I'm hoping that my unspoken look of anger and disgust and my intentionally loud report being made on the phone about what she had done, at least made her nervous enough not to repeat the action.
In the meantime, I will be calling the Humane Society to speak with someone and find out who/where do I call in a situation like that.
