   Teresa, It’s not. You did your work too well.

   Too many such incidents have been reported (and no doubt many have gone unreported).
   To lighten the mood: where did Backseat Doggie get the fortune cookie?

   Timely - at least for us in Denver. A couple left their dog in a car yesterday with the windows up for several hours while she auditioned for American Idol - don’t think she made the cut, either on talent or brains.

   So right Teresa. A minute can turn into 30 minutes or an hour even when their isn’t a life at stake.
   jackmatt, one of those emergency all purpose rescue hammers for opening windows for quick ventilation is in order and maybe a look out or two in case the tool goes to work.

    Thanks for explaining Teresa ( as I’m new to your work )…

    …I have a shortfuse reaction when it comes to pet abuse of any kind. Too many people need to be vetted before they become responsible for children or animals. We all make mistakes, but some are just a criminal lack of sense.

    Do NOT get me started!!! This is one subject that almost moves me to violence.

    I saw someone just the other day go into a store for a half and hour and leave their dog in their vehicle.

    It was ok though, they locked it up and left it running so the dog could have air conditioning.

    However, I found it totally unaceptable. Did they not think of the harm they were doing to the planet by letting their vehicle idle for that long?

    …and yet…I will still eat hotdogs…

    Good reminder, Teresa.
    Let’s remember, it’s also happens to human babies.

    Thanks, Teresa. May the careless and underserving pet-owning jerks everywhere be hereby reminded.

    That’s no fortune teller, it’s Slick Sam…The Insurance Man!!!!

    Good point 3hourtour. We all do stuff that has negative impact. It helps to choose your bad and use some good judgment and restraint in how we practice our negatives, and then curse the creator because we can’t have our Mercedes and Bentley too.

    That’s not a fortune, that’s a foretell.

    I am eating four fortune cookies while forwarding my Ford to Forth Worth for my forthcoming forty-sixth birthday.
    Although I might forgo that.

    jukeofurl: since you’re new to this strip, it would be useful for you to know what most of us already know about Theresa– and why she would not make light of any kind of abuse. http://tinyurl.com/l5epx8

    But I don’t eat dogs, home-cooked or not …

    This is one of those cases where I wish the constitution didn’t bar cruel and unusual punishment.
    I think anyone who leaves a child or pet in a hot car should be sentenced to at least twice the time of suffering in a similar environment.

    You beat me to it doc. That is my suggestion.

    Some of you might enjoy this: Last year in Toronto (where I live) a humane society worker came across a car parked in the hot sun with a dog shut inside. As he worked to save the dog, the owner returned, and the humane society guy handcuffed him to the car. While they were waiting for police, a passerby punched the owner in the face.

    There were some threats about the humane society guy losing his job, but there was enough hue and outcry from the public that he kept his job and was not charged.

    Thanks for the public service announcement, Teresa.

    Burgundy2 said, 4 months ago

    Oh yeah, the owner was charged, by the way.

    risitas: What are you going off about? Who claimed that this was a funny strip today? Your comment is out of place here.

    and prettyfeet you should know I have a foot fetish;-P

    Oh, I have a pitch-black sense of humor, Teresa. The pure fatalism of that closer remark brought out a deeply rueful chuckle of recognition. But I’m also the kind of humor perv whose third reading of 1984 had me finding the comedy in the last chapter. Not the laughter of joy, the laughter of seeing the utter absurdity and having no other safe reaction.

    In Florida the police smash the window to rescue the dog

    Ray C said, 4 months ago

    doctortoon: in my book, that would not be “cruel and unusual” punishment.

    This really cheeses me off! I’m ready to send in the charging baby tapirs! Today’s FA is not posting. Click the cluck-cluck chicken to see today’s froggery. (Be sure to click the strip twice to make it easier-to-read. Click thrice for it to convert into something that makes sense and/or is funny).

    …I had an old girlfriend that had one long chest hair,I used to suck on it and praise it’s existance…I believe she liked me better for it and didn’t drop me sooner than she did because of my reaction to it..
