Transportation: Today, I left my dog in my car for 5 minutes while I ran into...

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

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

Road rage

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

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 didn't you just turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine? The vents would've stayed on. (Unless OP's car has a keyless ignition, I don't know if those work the same way)

OP most likely left the car running for the a/c. It is hot in NJ in the summer and OP did not want their dog getting heat exhaustion.

My car has one of the keyless ignitions, so future plan is if I have a dog or kid in the car for just a few minutes to just let it run with it locked but with the key still in my pocket

Dude, everyone knows not to let their dog alone in a running car, even if it is for only 5 minutes. That's what they also say about infant children, it's unsafe and I hope you learnt your lesson.
