Let it be said and known throughout the land: People who leave their pets in the car while they shop are going to Hell.

Every year, people leave their animals in cars during the hot summer months. Some suffer heat stroke and serious injury, or in the worst instances, they can die. It's a problem Tybee Island officials know all too well. That's why Tybee Police are cracking down on anyone who puts an animal at risk.

Police say it only takes a matter of minutes for a dog to be a victim of heat exhaustion.

"Fifteen minutes could result in the death of an animal," explained Tybee Island Police Corporal Jason Heckman.

Yeah, I just don't get it. I think it should be common law that anyone happening on a dog inside a car in the Wal-Mart parking lot should be legally entitled to break through the windshield with a cinderblock. Who's with me?
