My dog Rosie... rip... was very smart girl. She rode shotgun with me in my truck perched on the center console like a figure head of a ship. Or rested on her elbows half on the console and half on her bed in the back. Part Ausssie and part greyhound.... excellent combo by the way.
I had just arranged to board my horse at a very large boarding facility of over ninety horses. Nice people Excellent care and grounds. Rules about dogs... on leash at all times.... It was a very hot day and I had my AC running on the truck when we went to leave. It was only 95 outside but inside without air can kill a dog in a very very very short time.
So When I spotted the owner and had a question I parked the truck and left the door open to go speak to her and a couple of other people. I had my back to the truck. Half way through my question all eyes turned to something behind me. I looked around and here was Rosie making a bee line to me. I turned to her in a conversational tone.... "Did I tell you you could get out of the truck?...." She didnt hesatate turned around and with the same haste covered the distance and disappeared in the cab.
To a ONE the people i was speaking to said.... "I dont have Children that mind that well.... " With lots of laughter.
She was with me all of seventeen years after I adopted her from a kill shelter. They estimated she was two years old when I got her..... So the closest estimate of her age was between 18 and 19 I miss her terribly.
