  Yeah we can do the obvious and look back at a 10,000 years of human history where dogs were always kept in climate controlled homes for their protection.

  Should you be allowed to leave your dog at home?

    Yes. That is a difference in kind.

      I should have been more specific and less snarky. I think the risk scales with time frame.

      If we can leave our dogs in our houses for several hours, I think it’s reasonable to leave our dogs in cars for several minutes (assuming climate control). I felt “Never” was too extreme.

        The amount of energy from sunlight it takes to warm a car up to a dangerous levels is far lower then for a house.
