If you won't do anything, then you don't give a damn about the dog, so don't post about it.

From here, all I see is your testicles raising into your lower intestine and a poor dog suffering in his shitty owner's car.

12 hours seriously with no accidents.

Your username is probably very true.


BTW being in a car locked up makes bodily needs more necessary.

To be fair, my parents' dog has gone 12 hours without accidents numerous times. A medium or large breed dog that has been properly trained will do what it takes to hold it in, unless it's an absolutely emergency.

The only accidents that have been left as surprises tend to be vomit.

That said - if 12 hour absence was repeated every day, an accident would surely occur. Eight hours is easily done, but 12 hours is pushing it if a regular occurrence.

I don't believe this OP for a second - but I'm also curious about the region. If it's a region that never gets much sun or all that warm, it's physically possible. But if I saw it, I'd report it in a heartbeat, survivable or not. That's a human that does not deserve the companionship of pet animals, not if said human cannot properly care for them.

All 3 of my dogs can clear 12 hours no problem.

Perhaps you can leave the location of this parking garage in this thread so someone who is not a pussy can call animal control on that car.

Thanks, but the right thing to do in this case would be to call someone about this situation.

It's not healthy for an animal to be in a car all day.

No different than a police dog. They are usually trapped in a car most of the day. I always felt sorry for the dogs, especially in the summer.
