RE: “Stepping in: Why are people willing to see any dog suffer in a hot car?” [Viewpoint, June 13]:
I recently witnessed a similar situation. A dog was in distress in a parked car outside a fitness center. I asked the receptionist at the fitness center to inquire if anyone inside had a dog in a vehicle outside.
She abjectly refused to “disturb” the clients! I had to call the police.
I really don't know what to make of this reaction, except that people have become incredibly self-oriented and irresponsible over the years, and that everyone fears being sued by some jerk they might implicate.
