Okay so I'm a supervisor for a security company, my location is a medical office building right next to a hospital (we have a parking garage that people going to the hospital inadvertently park in constantly).
So I notice Yesterday before the parking garage closes, that a car is still inside the garage (happens all the time). Problem is the car (BMW wagon) has a dog inside, a little fcking purse dog (does not happen all the time). Not a big fan of small dogs, but I am a fan of life. Unfortunately I can do nothing yet as 9/10 times people come take the car and then leave after hours, mostly peoPle visiting family late at night, then leaving.
Then I arrive for my shift today, and the fucking car and dog are still there. Now it's a small dog that hasn't had water or food in at least 24 hours. So I decide to take matters into my own hands as it has been hot, and even though the parking garage is 10 degrees cooler than outside, it's still In the high 70's in there.
Now even though I'm a security guard, I'm no cop wannabe, and not a huge fan of cops in general. However I am aware of the ability they have to help the community in situations such as this. So I called a cop, a young guy shows up. He agrees this is pretty fucked up and gets to work. He runs the license plate and gets the name of the owner, and goes to the hospital (next door, patients often park in our garage on accident) to see if the owner is checked in. ( this was what we had thought was the case because who the fuck leaves a dog in the car that long lunless it's a medical emergency, especially concidering our proximity to the hospital?)
Turns out the owner is checked into the hospital because of a medical issue. Making the story even sadder, it's a middle aged woman with no family willing/available to help get the dog while she was checked in. So after a short time I'm informed she is most likely about to check out of the hospital (none of my concern) and assist her dog. Problem is she is on medication and I can't let her drive outta there with the nedication she was on, its like a dui. But I also can't physically stop her due to legal reasons regarding contracted security and liability bullshit.
Thank the stars this lady was easily convinced to take a cab, they had her on some good shit over at the hospital. Long story short the dog was taken home by the owner and hopefully taken care of. I did my part I feel like. It seemed like if I didn't get the ball rolling, that dog was staying in the car another 24 hours, which was a 100% death sentence with how small it was coupled with heat and lack of food and water. Also the fact that the lady didn't start trying to help the dog until a cop showed up in her room reminding her it was about to be animal cruelty.
I hope the dog is in good care now and not in peril any more (even though I hate little fucking a ankle biters). Well thats my story. Stay geeked, like I was the whole time this shit went down
P.s. yeah yeah one starred
