Dog presents with obvious distress, drooling, and panting, bright red gums. Windows are only open slightly ~1 inch. Owner is nowhere in sight.
Does the law allow you to break a window to let the dog out? Particularly in California?

What are you supposed to do? Call 911 while the poor animal bakes? Or just go ahead and pop the window?

the safety of defenseless animals is everyone's business! :)

some people aren't smart enough to realize that dogs can suffocate in that kind of setting pretty fast!

Stick your hands in the 1inch gaps an pull the window down manually, assuming you have minor muscles.

I think you should break the windows then call the police and say you saw a tall skinny black male do it but he ran off when he saw the dog.

My guess is that the law would not be on your side, but with that being said I would break the windows and subsequently the owner's jaw when he came back.
