Agent G Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I would have taken the dog, warmed it up, then dropped it off at the police station. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 What a shame it is that if you tied the owner for a while where his dog is, just to teach him a little compassion, you'd probably end up in jail. Life's unfair for man and beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Kinda wantex to take the dog into the store to warm up or at least call 911, wasn't sure if that would have quick response that would get because of the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I guess no one has speculated that the dog's owner could have been inside the Dunkin Donuts grabbing himself a cup of coffee while he was out walking the dog? Na, that makes too much sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I have been left out in the cold too long many times. When one works construction jobs and builds America, they're out in the cold, heat, rain, snow, ALL day long just so that they can get their 8 hours in to feed their families and pay the bills. And the "suits" don't care as they only visit the jobsites on nice days, and they cry about unions demanding a decent wage. Yeah I forgot about those cold days working up on a roof with the snow blowing on me, on purpose as they sucked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Barefoot... And in that lot, it can be brutal this time of year. Last winter was horrible there, nearly froze one night after work on the second coldest day of that winter and found the Jeep wouldn't fire, between the walk to and from the Jeep and the time it took to nearly kill the battery, I was almost hurting!

disabled modeler Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Many years ago I worked at a full service gas station that also served semi truck....winter sanding in the blizzard conditions filling up those big tanks ended up looking like a snowman when full.

unclescott58 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 ???? If the dog was out there after several hours, I might be a little concerned. Living in Minnesota I've seen lots of dogs outside in the winter. In the snow. And it doesn't seen to hurt them. They have fur and padded feet. They're related to wolves, who live out in the cold all the time. It's not like shutting them up in a hot car in the summer. This does mean I think it's okay to leave the dog like for a overly long time. But, if the owner stopped off for donut and cup coffee, I don't think it's going to affect the dog too much. The dog may not like it. But knowing dogs, it probably will not be happy being left alone on a nice moderately warm day. They're dogs. Not people.

Ace-Garageguy Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 ... They have fur and padded feet. They're related to wolves, who live out in the cold all the time. Wolves are also highly intelligent, wild, pack animals. When it's bitter cold, they huddle together to conserve body heat, and they understand how to find shelter. They can also keep moving to stay warm, as they're not tied to a post. They're wolves, not dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Peeled off the wrap on a Texaco '51 Chevy pickup today and started cutting everything off the sprues. I looked at the instruction sheet and said a few choice profane words. Every printed word on the box is English, yet the instruction are in Spanish. I don't read Spanish. Luckily there's pictures to go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
