the dog
I believe the dog in the parked car in the middle of the evening shift had only been left there for a short time. Maybe somebody forgot his or her dinner, and a family member brought it from home, leaving the dog in the car for 5 minutes to bring the food inside. Or even for half an hour, to go in and eat together.
I believe most dogs are fairly safe from cold, if they are dry and protected from wind, and reasonably well-nourished. They have fur coats. It's not like I was looking at a dog in an overheated parked car in summer, which I know is a dog in immediate danger. The dog was barking up a storm, fogging the windows so badly I couldn't see what kind of dog it was. Collies deal with cold better than greyhounds. Maybe it's a St. Bernard?
I want to believe the dog is ok, because I am too tired to believe anything else.
