Dreamed about this whiny crass waste of a human last night - have to sort out what I ate, but what kind of caregiver "prescribes" an animal now a days, I've not heard of this. Do they have those at Rite Aid or Walgreens? I hope he/she prescribed her some drugs as well.
I've heard of the concept of an emotional support pet, but I'm not sure one would be "prescribed" per se, other than someone's therapist might suggest a client adopt one.
I'm curious what the woman was planning to do with the dog once she was inside the park. Was she with someone else who could watch the dog? Otherwise I could totally picture her zipping up the LV bag and setting the dog in a bin while riding.
If I were a pomeranian named Malibu and I were owned by a nut case who carried me around in a designer bag and left me in a hot car all day long, you better believe I would bolt the first chance I got.
Run, little Malibu, run!

Few months ago I confronted someone bringing dog into the building because it wasn't your typical golden retriever type dog. The owner stated it was a "assistance" dog, so I called the health and safety people. They said these dogs do exist, some detect epileptic seizures, others are able to detect other medical problems. They stated they are afforded the same rights under the law as a seeing eye dog.
Just another Mike..
And obviously little Malibu detected that his owner lacked functioning brain cells, hence the bolt to freedom. Picturing Dorothy choking back tears while watching Toto run from the WWW's castle, "he got away, sob-sob, he got away."
I don't feel sorry for her. Anyone who would leave a dog in a hot car at the amusement park is a complete idiot. I'm sure if she tries to sue the park, the humane society will be there with their lawyers to tell her how things work.
My friends and I went to MA a few years ago, and they insisted on bringing the dog. They thought they could just walk around the park with the dog all day, and, even though I argued with them about it, they still brought the dog.
Kind of made the visit suck, because we had to keep going out to the car to check on him, when it was 84 outside.
He was fine, and we made sure he had water. But, all I could think about all day was how hot it must be in that car, and we left after only being at the park for a few hours, because we got exhausted walking back and forth to the car. They learned not to do that again.
But, what really got them was a time when they left the dogs in the car while at a local bar. Someone called the humane society, and they showed up at the bar wanting to know who's dogs were in the car in the parking lot. They said the dogs were theirs, and the bar owners threw them out, and told them not to come back. They don't take their dogs there anymore. I think they learned their lesson, but still take the dogs with them when going on long trips...I'll bet the dogs stay in the car.
^ Very. Little Malibu would even be able to ride the Pioneer Train and Antique Cars. No Louis Vuitton cage required.
P.S. I hope Malibu pooped all over the inside of the car before they got him out. Enjoy that on a 90 degree day, Shamalama or whatever your name is.
Some ops will allow dogs on the carousel. My friend's Corgi was with us 2 years ago, and we took him on a couple of rides.
Just a quick update:
The dog has been reunited with the 'owner.'

I feel sorry for the dog
So the evidence has been found - when will the local prosecutor's office be serving the arrest warrant for the crime she committed? I want to see that on the news.
- Oh and this little snippet -
"“I don’t know how I’m going to go back without my daughter,” Brooks said. “I don’t know how I’m going to live in my house without her — I just don’t.”"
Not sure what to say about that... <shaking head>
What is really wierd is that the park has (or had a few years ago) free kennel services. I left my dog there and went back a couple of times to walk him during the day. And the only reason we brought him was because we live ~200 miles from the park and had nobody to let him out while we were gone. Otherwise we either leave him home or find a local doggie daycare place.
People are so F-ing stupid.
^^^ The Park still offers the Dog Kennel Service, you pass it when entering the Parkinglot.
That girl was just F-ing stupid. End of story!

So long as she doesn't get the dog caught in her butt.
