I don't think he is trying to act high and mighty he is just advocating displeasure over the prospect of someone breaking his window. Which is more than just the cost of repairing the glass. I have had my glass taken out by a BB gun before (in another car... not my MS) and it was a huge pain to get it repaired... the first one didn't go well, it didn't sit on the rails correctly, and had to be taken back... the second one... same thing... so finally the shop replaced it with a piece directly from Honda, which... mostly worked, but by that point something must have gotten messed up in the switch because it would sometimes not go down when I pushed the button. So all of this equated to time lost, hardship from lack of a properly working driver's window (seems inconsequential until you realize how much you use it... or at least how much I use it), on top of the actual monetary loss of the glass itself.
On the flip side... dead dog, likely would leave an unpleasant smell and would be a huge inconvenience too... So, I would never choose either option, I would ensure a dog in my care was properly handled to avoid it even being a choice.
depends on the dog...
