Barking debate: Viral video of pet dog in hot car ignites social media furor

[webfact]

 

A recent incident involving a pet dog left in a car by its owner has sparked a debate on social media. A video clip posted by a TikTok user @mycatsmycup showed a pet dog left in a car parked at a popular shopping mall in Bangkok.

 

The owner had left a message on the car’s display screen assuring passers-by that the air conditioning was on and that they would be returning shortly, sparking serious debates on pet ethics.

 

The car was discovered by the TikTok user who noticed the dog sitting comfortably inside.

 

The dog’s owner had set the car’s temperature to 23 degrees Celsius and left a digital note. It said…

“My driver will be back soon. Don’t worry! The air conditioning is on.”

How do you come to that conclusion, was it the dog who suggested that the driver leave the car's A/C set to 'dog mode' whilst she was away?

In fact the very opposite. A very responsible dog owner.
