We don't have a fur coat all over, so what's endurable for us can be worse for a dog, and the OP didn't specify anything about heat exhaustion, hence why I didn't presume but pointed out both options. You are a cretin for "going ahead" and presuming things which weren't specified. Humans and dogs are very different. Here's a quote for you: "Contrary to what most people believe, dogs overheat more quickly than humans do. They wear their fur coat all year long and they do not sweat. They cool their bodies by panting, or blowing out heat, which is much less effective than sweating. Even if you are comfortable, your dog may be too hot!" Good day.

PWNED!

actually they do sweat. through their feet and noses.

i am very upset that plexico's comment was buried. someone tell me what he said. op: that sux. what did you do once you found out though? did fido just chill in the backseat with you for the remainder of the trip?

lessthanbee, I don't know how THAT comment got moderated. I didn't use any foul language. I regularly get away with a lot worse. I'll try to repeat it for you. I said: You bored your dog to death. Halfway through your FML, I felt the life force draining from my body from extreme ennui. God, you are dull. Get a hobby, get a job, get laid, get a life. Whatever you do, get interesting!

Your own mother doesn't love you?
