Costco is a place where you come for bargains and leave with a trunk full of things you probably didn’t need but couldn’t resist. What it shouldn’t be is the scene of a near-tragedy involving a dog tied up in the blazing sun because its owners thought Costco parking lot pet care was totally a thing. Spoiler: it’s not.
But that’s exactly what happened on May 5 at the Costco in Burnaby, BC. And while most people were busy deciding between Kirkland-brand olive oil and the fancy stuff, one couple was making a series of reckless, thoughtless, downright infuriating decisions that landed them, their dog, and a red Solo cup of water in the middle of a $300 disaster.
