Saturday afternoon (March 22) it was 34 degrees with a bitter, cold wind. When I came out of Walmart at about 4:30 and loaded my car, it was all I could do to just toss everything in and jump in, I was so cold.

At the red light at the intersection of Derrick Road and East Main, a truck turning left onto Derrick Road had two beautiful short-haired dogs  in the back. When I pulled  up alongside the truck I could clearly see that the dogs, frantic-eyed and shivering, were miserably cold. 

I don’t know how far these dogs had to go before they, hopefully, were given some kind of shelter.

Sadly, it’s not illegal in Pennsylvania to drive around with dogs in the backs of trucks. But did the driver not know that at 34 degrees and with the wind factor of a moving vehicle, the dogs most certainly would be frigidly cold, or did he not care?
