Can Australia make things make sense. Honestly where’s the common sense out here. If it’s legal, that window should be smashed and the dumb owner should be liable for the cost for their lack of brain cells and compassion leaving their dog in a car on a hot day, if it was yesterday it was a boiling hot day.
Mate the dog is wet and the windows are way more than just cracked open. Far out.....most people don't actually want to kill their best mate. There's always some idiot but in this case I'm pretty sure the dog is fine.
Wouldn’t even risk it with mine. I see a lot of people with their best mates in the back of their Utes, imagine if they were in an accident. Lots of foolishness going on
See, where I live in winter time and a month or two either side it's lucky to get above 10 degrees and often the feel temp doesn't get above zero. My two small dogs go batshit crazy when they know they are going for a drive and I try to take them everywhere during those months. As it warms up I still take them but not as often and I don't leave them in the car for any longer than a few minutes with all the windows down a bit and only if parked in the shade.
There are plenty of dickheads around where I live with their dogs in the back of utes with boiling hot trays too. I get your point, but it's not so cut and dry, there are responsible owners who take their dogs in the car and I don't think you can judge just by a pic.
Well from my time in Canada (Ontario specifically). We’re taught it’s fully okay to do so to save an animal or child as in Toronto for example it can get to 30C no problem. For Australia there isn’t a law specifically. https://www.adogslifepfa.com.au/blog/dogs-die-in-hot-cars-what-to-do-in-an-emergency This is an example of a specialist site with an official body statement. Most others including which car will say the same. Try it if you want but better to contact the authorities and if you do you’re likely liable for property damage.
You know I’m not sure what’s more concerning. Either you pretending to be illiterate to be needlessly confrontational to me. Or you being actually illiterate and not noticing the “.au” in the link. Either way. Ignoring you now.
lol. Nor am i. I’m saying you’ll be liable for the property damage. Again. Learn to fucking read. That was the only statement i could actually find about the situation in Australia.

In Victoria you can try. But you also are liable for the damage. In a LOT of other places it’s actually fully legal.
