  • Does anyone at SDSU recognize a car with Arizona plates that has a dog locked inside outside my house a couple miles from campus? There's an SDSU parking ticket on the windshield dated yesterday. The dog has been barking and howling since about 2:30am, and the car was parked here around 8:30pm last night.
  • = STOP
  • Dog looking sad while he waits for his owner.
  • UlisesGirl Call the police non emergency line and see if dispatch can send out the folks from the humane society they usually have an on-call person - available for after hours. Teslas have a "dog" mode but they shouldn't be leaving their dog in the car overnight.
  • MulberryCritical7298 OP. Totally agree with you. I called the humane society and they said there is nothing they can do because it isn't hot out. The dashboard inside says "don't worry, Tesla is in dog mode and will return soon. 71F"
  • Material-Flower5130. You all need to scroll up and read the comments. The address where this car is parked has been posted at least twice. A redditor from this group (not OP) went to confront the owner, said they're staying at a friend's place who won't let the dog in the house. Both the owner and their friend are pieces of shit.
  • Livid Bass1005. Something probably happened to they owner and if I was calling the police I'd convey it that way. The parking ticket still being there along with the dog would scream to me that someone probably didn't intentionally want to leave their pet for that long. Report it like a possible crime against the owner bet they will be out there faster
  • MulberryCritical7298 OP. Owner showed up at 8:40am to let the dog go to the bathroom and left. I got a photo of him
  • swarleyknope I wish dog owners were aware that the "dog mode" is not failsafe and that dogs have died in Teslas. jaded161 Please call the Humane Society again and let them know that he's been stuck there over 11 hours. If you provide the cross streets, I can call them myself.
  • Rumple-_-Goocher If they have a ticket from yesterday still on the windshield that dog may have been in there by itself without food or water since before that ticket was there. Nobody just leaves a ticket on their windshield.
  • Fragrant_Thought... What's odd is Tesla owners have the ability to look at the cameras around their car and mess w the controls so whosever car this is should be seeing video of ppl by their car and taking pics like I'd wanna know what's up if I saw that Imao surprised they haven't come back honestly
  • Poor doggo :/ I get it's night time and everything but still not great to leave a dog in the car like that. The barking would drive me crazy tho if I lived there
  • DeadpoolVII If I saw this, and non emergency said they can't help, I'm breaking that window.
  • Upstairs Delivery4 WHAT IF HE DOES THIS IN ARIZONA !!
  • Owlthirtynow. Sledge hammer?
  • Kifaru74 I assume no water bowl in the car for the dog? Just bust the window and take the dog.
  • MulberryCritical7298 OP. Owner showed up at 8:40am to let the dog go to the bathroom and left. Edit: the guy just moved across the street then a redditor just showed up to yell at him.
