Make sure to report this everytime. Some stores will make an announcement which could save a dogs life
This is just so sad. Even when I go to Safeway up the road I’m seeing dogs in cars. So upsetting
Many of these incidents happened at family entertainment destinations like the Denver Zoo, the Denver Aquarium and Elitch Gardens

What kind of special scumbag leaves their dog in the car and goes to the zoo. Leave them home!

This really breaks my heart - people do this with their kids too, it's crazy. I get it that people can make a mistake, one that they will regret for the rest of their life, but those that do this on purpose, I don't get it. All it takes is for you to sit in your own car for 10 minutes with the windows up (or even cracked) to see just how quickly the temps spike inside.
