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.

Why did you left your car running? People that do that kind of shit shouldn't have a drivers licence.

"Why did you left your car running?" You mean: "Why did you leave your car running?" People leave their cars running ALL THE TIME. You're an idiot. He left the car running so the A/C would stay on, and that way his dog wouldn't get too hot in the car.

This happens because Americans don't use their e-brake! YDI, and worse.

Engage the parking break next time...that should help...even though you must have one smart dog that figured out how to move the car...

Either your dog is very strong to move the car or he is smart enough to drive.

Suddenly everyone ITT is an expert on weather and veterinary medicine. In the summer, cars are always a danger - even when they're moving. A moving car still gets incredibly hot due to the Greenhouse Effect, yes? The car doesn't suddenly become a death trap once it's in park: if the A/C isn't on, then the car is always at risk of being a death trap. Many children have died of heat stroke while IN A MOVING CAR. The only way to combat this is to ensure that you drive only for a short amount of time, use the A/C, and/or open the windows. If the A/C is on, then you're fine (assuming it's working properly). We all drive with the A/C on. We drive with our pets in the car while the A/C is on, so why is it so bad to leave your dog in the car if the car is running? The temperature in the car is the same when it's moving as when it's NOT moving. It's when the car ISN'T running that the people inside are in danger. There are plenty of reasons NOT to leave your dog in the car when the car is running: the A/C could fail; the dog can accidentally turn off the A/C; and, as is the case in this FML, the dog could somehow cause the car to move. However, if you guys really think that the A/C isn't enough to save a dog from heat, then it's also the case that a dog should NEVER be in the car, even when it's moving. In fact, if A/C is so utterly useless, then no human being should ever be in a car in the summer for more than two or three minutes.
