Leaving a dog in the car is ok in reasonable temperatures as long the conditions permit it. Me, Dora and Felonious all stay in the east bay where temps damn near always fall between 60-80 degrees. Those examples are from vacaville which is a valley where the temperatures get much more extreme, relative to our location at least. I personally don't do it for more than 20-30 minutes, but as long as they're comfortable I wouldn't worry about it for a longer period of time if I were in a pinch. I wouldn't make a habit of it though, just if I were coming back from a walk and had to run a quick errand or something.
The first story is in Oakland and the dog died from being in the car a short while and breh is talking about leaving his dog in the car for hours.

Why even jump into a conversation when you literally have half the facts wrong?
You want more articles of dogs dying the car in the bay?

It's literally illegal to do this breh. Why am I even going back and forth with ya'll this is literally common sense.
