As important as it is to make sure you don't leave dogs or any other pets or toddlers in hot cars, it's also important to think about what you do on social media and how it affects others and I didn't think about the latter half carefully enough. I know it's too late and that too much damage has been done already, but please try to understand the man's situation and avoid shaming him further.
As much as the guy was mean and rude, please, just remember that the safety of the animal is what should have been the main concern and I would appreciate it if further degrading comments about the man stop.I wanted to share the video because I thought it brought attention to the issue of leaving pets in unattended, hot vehicles, but I didn't think of how much the public would focus on other things.
There is another side to any story and I encourage all of you to think about that as well.
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.
