That evening after work he went home, picked up the dog and went to the gym. He left the dog in the car for about 15 minutes while he went inside to take care of something.

When he came out he discovered that his nice Pit Bull had pulled the entire right side of the dash off the car! EVERYTHING from the steering column to the right side of the car as far as dash was concerned was GONE!
Dash, padding, wiring, heater ducts, glove box. All were chewed up and in pieces spread all over the interior of the car.
Could have been worse... The passenger airbag could have shorted and deployed at close range killing his darling doggy. Unattended kids or dogs in a car is rarely the optimal situation... Ask any dog.

Last snow we lost a third of the mailboxes in our neighborhood. Don't know if we lost any people though.
