there was this dick, (as in asshole) who left his, (i'm assuming it's a guy, because i can't imagine a woman being so callus to an animal) dog in his KIA SUV on las palmas ave in hollywood today.
this was in the late afternoon when the temperature was 90 degrees... which means it was about 120 in the car! if you've ever seen these videos where pets die in unattended vehicles you would understand my concern. according to vets five or 10 minutes" is all it
takes on a hot day for a dog to wind up organ-damaged or dead.
the poor dog was howling & panting like crazy... this is how i became aware of him in the first place. i was @ antebellum gallery on the phone, and kept hearing a howling dog... i thought i was imagining this.... after a long while i went out to investigate and this is what i found~
i poured a jar of water thru the small crack in the window and the sweetie devoured it.
then some of my friends came by for happy hour and i told them about the abandoned pet.
they were incensed, (they are dog owners) and called the police. the police came,
(quickly i might add) but said that the animal would have to be in a traumatic state for them to break the window. i guess they meant like near death... because this poor little thing had be howling for 45 minutes. at this point a crowd began to gather. my neighbors @ SADIE'S CAFE across the street came out and each person, from manager to busboy, gave the dog water, a cool towel, and company.
when i left the gallery there was still no sight of the driver. it was well over two hours.
i will keep my dear readers posted as to what transpires.
UPDATE~
according to my friend, "the cops came back to make a second round just as the people returned to their car. Two young and dumb kids. Cops wrote them a citation that they'll have to appear in court for!
Hopefully they learn!"
