I've felt horrible all day. Both my parents called me crying... Dad left their beloved dog in the car too long today which unfortunately killed her. They couldn't stand to be apart from that little thing, hence taking her everywhere. I've never in my life heard my dad cry, he was so heart broken, he felt so bad. I can't stand it when people I love hurt

My sympathies to your parents on their loss. Losing a beloved pet is like losing a family member.

Sorry about your loss. :(

Thank you everybody

I am so sorry. That is so heartbreaking. :(

What do you mean, left the dog in the car too long? Was it too hot for the dog? I'm sorry, but i feel sorry for the dog. :mad:

I'm sorry to hear that.:(

Yes, it was too hot for the dog, they left her there for 2 hours

I feel bad that they lost a pet they loved, but there is no excuse to leave a dog in a car for 2 hours, especially in the summer. It is heartbreaking thinking of that poor dog.

I know, I told them to never leave the dog in a hot car in the summer but they never listen to me :mad:

Don't in any way blame yourself. Parents rarely listen to the advice of their children - even when these same children become adults. Why? Because for decades they have become used to telling YOU the Correct way things should and MUST be done - NOT the other way around. There were many, many times when I clearly gave my mother advice - good, solid strong advice - which she simply refused to take - and then things didn't turn out the way she expected them to. I stopped giving my parents unsolicited advice years ago, because unless they actually ask you for advice, they ignore it.

Dork. I have nothing against you, and i don't what to come across as mean, what happened is very tragic. The truth is your parents should be charged with cruelty to animals..There's no excuse for that to happen.

I don't know about charged with cruelty to animals because they did not do it on purpose and if they did do it on purpose, they wouldn't have been crying and feeling horrible about this, my parents did not know that leaving the dog in a hot car will kill her (THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN after I told them countless times to never leave the dog in a hot car but they never listen to me), it was a accident and I hope they learned their lesson but unfortanely, I am not holding my breath but they said they are not getting another dog after this, I will see it when I believe it and once I told them last year to always keep the dog on a leash and they did not listen to me and my dog was hit by a car, I seriously want to strangle my parents for not listening to me, I just am going to give up on telling my parents what to do for the dogs' safety because it is useless since 2 dogs was killed due to their careless actions and I just really hope they do not get another dog because I know the dog will be killed due to their careless actions and it is just really frustrating to me! If they get another dog and the dog dies due to their careless actions again, I will be reporting them to the police for animal cruelty and I am sure my parents will disown me for reporting them but I have no choice but to do the right thing

So sorry to hear that Dork. One of lifes greatest pains is to lose a beloved pet. :( God be with you and your family right now. I know it hurts. Hang in there!

Thank you

I'm sorry to hear about your dog. She's waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge; for the day you're reunited.

You are welcome.

I'm sorry to hear about your dog. :(

Sorry for your loss. May God be with you.

Thank you all again

I'm sorry for your pain and the fact your parent's dog died in such an awful way.

When you can discuss it with them--it may be years since they are most likely devastated--please let them know that it is legally considered animal cruelty to leave a pet in a vehicle for any amount of time when it is 70 degrees or higher.

I know that you can't turn back time, but they need to understand this if they elect to get another dog in the future.

I feel bad for the dog. Poor little thing. I hope your parents are feeling better. And for those of you that are telling Dork that the parents were wrong, I'm sure they know and feel awful about what happened. We shoulnd't keep reiterating the mistake. It happened and and I'm sure they feel terrible and learned a lesson from it. I also hope that insensitive people back off with comments like "It's just a dog!" I really don't believe it's just a dog. It's a little life that that one can grow to love and care about. Dork, you give us some update on your parents, ok? :(

People can post whatever they want. Nobody here said anything close to, "It's just a dog."
