"The greatness of a nation can be judged by the
way its animals are treated."
- Ghandi
Leaving your pet in a parked car can be a deadly mistake!
On a warm day the temperature in a parked car can reach 120 degrees in a matter of minutes--even with the windows open.
With nothing but overheated air to breath, a dog can last only a short time before suffering irreparable brain damage or even death. Every summer countless dogs and cats suffer needlessly and even die in parked cars that become unbearable ovens.
You may have meant to be kind by taking your pet with you, but you could be risking his/her life.
If your dog is overcome by heat exhaustion, you can give immediate first aid by applying cool (not cold) water all over his/her body and then take your dog to the nearest vet immediately.

Treat me kindly, my beloved friend,
For no heart in all the world is more grateful
for kindness than the loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick,
For though I should lick your hand between blows,
your patience and understanding will more quickly
teach me the things you would have me learn.
Speak to me often,
For your voice is the world's sweetest music,
as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail
when your footsteps fall upon my ears.
Please take me inside when it is cold and wet,
For I am a domesticated animal,
no longer accustomed to the bitter elements.
I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting
at your feet beside the hearth.
Keep my pan filled with water,
for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food that I may stay well,
to romp and play and do your bidding,
to walk by your side, and stand ready,
willing and able to protect you with my life,
should your life be in danger.
Why spay/neuter? 
Why adopt one?
Does your heart have room?
