Being concerned about animals is good, but being paranoid that they may be in danger is a different story.

What would you do if a stranger approached you and was concerned about a dog that was inside a car?

This man was enjoying a day at the state park with his wife and dogs when a stranger approached him.

The woman insisted that a dog left in a truck was in danger, but he was surprised at how she responded when he looked closer.

State Park drama

I was at the local state park recently with my wife and doggos.

For context, we’re in the US and not far from the border with Canada.

We’re wrapping things up and getting the dogs back in the car when I’m approached by a woman (her car has Canadian plates, if that’s worth anything), and she asks if I know where the park rangers are.

This man looked inside the truck to see the condition of the dog inside.

As I start to explain where the ranger station is, she walks me over to a nearby pickup truck. She says that there’s a dog in the truck, and it’s going to die from the heat.

I take a look, and: 1) it’s not all that warm.

2) The windows are lowered for air flow.

3) The windows are heavily tinted.

4) The dog looks fine, it’s enjoying barking at passersby.

5) And there’s a bowl of water in the truck.

He told the lady that the dog looks fine.

I tell her it looks like the dog is not in any immediate danger.

And I try again to explain to her where the ranger station is, but she’s not having any of that.

Apparently, I need to go get a ranger.

He advised her to go to the ranger station if she’s concerned about the dog.

As I am walking away, I try saying again that if she’s concerned, she can go to the ranger station.

She says that she’s from Canada, and has other things to do and then she wanders off to enjoy the beach.

Why did she express so much concern about the dog if she wasn’t going to follow through and go to the ranger station?
