great falls
Roomies and i made a trip out to great falls. We parked at the side entrance (across from old angler’s inn) instead of paying the $5 for the main entrance parking. As we were getting out of the car, we heard a whimper whine sound coming from a car a few cars down… someone locked their huge black dog in the car with the windows just barely cracked. I was throwing a fit. We wrote a note on the guys car using profanity, called them an animal abuser and told them we reported their license plate… That was probably the immature thing to do in that moment, but I felt so helpless. I’m actually not too sure who I’m supposed to call to report such an incident. Another person walked by and stuck her hand through the crack to see if she could feel the temperature and said the dog should be ok for now but there wasn’t really anything we could do for it. ugh. so pissed. What kind of retarded person leave their dog in the car and just run off for a walk?! We even waited a couple of minutes to see if they just went to the bathroom or something. nope. grrr.
We had originally planned to go hiking, but all the trails were closed off b/c of flooding. so we ended up just walking off our anger for a couple of hours until we reached the falls, which were wild and crazy from all the rain.
note to self- bring granola bars on super long hike/walk… we were starved by the time we got back to the car.
luckily the locked up dog was gone, note and all… we hope he/she got the message…

I think you can call the police if you don’t know the number for animal control. I once saw a small lapdog locked in a car (no window cracked) on a hot hot day and I went into the grocery store to tell the manager. He acted like it was none of his business so I called the cops to come open the door. Luckily the owners came out. It’s not like they forgot the dog in the back seat! They deliberately left it there and didn’t even open the window. That just makes me mad. They told me it was okay, they left water in the car. I wanted them to sit in that hot oven and tell me water is sufficient to tolerate the heat.
