Today, I left my dog in my car for 5 minutes while I ran into a store. The car was running so he was fine, the thing that wasn't so fine is that when I walked out my car wasn't there. My dog somehow moved my car into the middle of a intersection, almost causing an accident. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I left my dog in the car while I quickly ran into a store. I came out to a woman smashing at my window, screaming that it was too hot in the car for the dog and saying I was being inhumane. The car was still running and the air conditioning was on. FML
Today, I opened my car door on reaching destination and my dog escaped. I never found him. My destination was the vet's office to get him micro-chipped. FML
Today, someone let my puppy escape. I didn't know, until I arrived home and hit him with my car. FML
Today, I was driving back from school 100 miles away from my home with my fiancé and dog. While stopping for gas, we accidentally left our car keys and cell phones in the car. The dog sat on one of the keys and engaged the locks. We were locked out of the car until the tow truck arrived. FML
Today, I went to pick up my dog from the vet after she had surgery. I somehow managed to lock my keys, my purse, and my dog in the car. FML
Today, I spent five minutes sitting in my car, panicking and tearing my purse apart because I couldn't find my keys. I then found them. They were in the ignition, and the car was running. FML
Today, my dog was riding my car's passenger seat. He clambered over onto my lap, causing me to lose control of the wheel for a few seconds. As I tried to knock him off me, I lost track of my speed, and ended up being pulled over for reckless driving. FML
Today, I accidentally left the handbrake off in my car, got out, locked it, and started walking away. Then I heard a loud noise and looked over my shoulder and the car was gone. Of course, it hit the only other car parked in the street. FML
Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML
Today, I was driving home with my girlfriend. As we turned onto our block, she shrieked that our dog was running down the street and into traffic. I jumped out of the moving car and chased him for about a mile, only to give up, go home, and find out it wasn't our dog. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Take away his license until he learns to be responsible.

I'm just trying to comprehend the fact that your dog apparently moved the car while it was parked.

How dose your dog 'accidentaly' move your car into an intersection? Must admit, this one's just plain stupid. :/

Honestly to everyone saying that the dog would have been fine; there have been cases where dogs HAVE died in 5 minutes. The car heats up quickly to a temperature hotter than that on the outside of the car and leaving a window cracked hardly lets any cool air in (even worse on humid days) Even if the A/C was on before OP shut off the car, that doesn't stop the car from heating up eventually. I hope and pray to God that none of you have dogs to leave in cars like that.

I feel like the difficulty level of the dog having moved the car really depends on A) the dog and B) the model of the car

Your "5 minutes" could've gotten the dog killed in a hot car at least tether the dog outside the store

That's why the AC was on?

Never leaving your car running and unattended, and never leave your dog unattended in it even for 5 minutes, especially if it's at all hot. Sure if it's running with AC on it help combat the heat a bit (that still only does so much. I still wouldn't really trust it), but it's a good way to get your car stolen. I don't know how many times I've heard about a stolen car and somebody saying "Oh I just left it running for 5 minutes while I ran into the gas station/bank/whatever". And your car can heat up A LOT in only 5 minutes, they did a test on the news and it was I think more than 10 degrees in only 5-10 minutes and it wasn't even that hot of a day a bit hot but not too bad iirc. I don't remember exactly. And that's using a celsius scale, it would be probably more like a 20 degree increase in Fahrenheit. And it's hard to say you're only going to be 5 minutes, it could get busy, or there could be technical difficulties or something and just a couple minutes can make a lot of difference.

Sorry to hear OP, also sorry that people are blowing this way outta proportion. Ignore the others who just wanna go on about facts and make you feel worse than you already do, as long as the A/C was on you tried. We don't know the full situation, just glad the dog and car are OK.

I clicked "YDI" before I even got past "I left my dog in the car"

Maybe you forgot to put it in park, or the brakes are shot?

I don't believe this.
