Bloom and Bosworth Dine, Leave Dog in Car

Orlando and Kate to be hitched?Orlando Bloom had a great weekend, with his "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie making another 62 million at the box office, but that doesn't mean his dog can come into the restaurant.

Bloom and Kate Bosworth were spotted going out for a late afternoon lunch (they had scallops) and - just like the rest of us - Orlando had to leave his beautiful black dog in the car.

We all know how dangerous a hot car can be for an animal- the risk of death is quite real. But Orlando took care of his best friend, making sure the window was cracked and getting up twice during the meal, possibly to go check on the pooch.

When he and Kate came out of the restaurant, the car had been moved to a shady spot. It is unclear if Orlando requested this or if the valet took the initiative. Either way, Orlando gave the guy what looks like a substantial tip.

And Orlando's right - it's worth a few bucks to ensure your pet's safety.

16. Uhhhh... animals DO TOO get separation anxiety? Duh? Even "lower forms" of life, like iguanas, experience things like relocation stress and act out because of it. Why the heck WOULDN'T a needy, pack animal like a dog have separation anxiety? Especially if it had been abused or neglected? They probably picked what they felt is the lesser of two evils. Not only that, AS IF the relentless, ubiquitous paparazzi would not notice if the dog was in distress. Come on... that dog had more babysitters for the hour or so it MIGHT have been in the car than an entire neighborhood of toddlers. Pfft.

17. I believe the only reason they moved the car etc., is because TMZ spotted them and they realized they could get penalized for leaving the dog in the car, otherwise who would have gave a sh*t. Who cares, obviously they didnt, they were more concerned over getting in trouble and having the tabloids spill on them and tear them to shreds, and what's worse, most of the people on here are doing just that. Next time, leave the pooch in a crate at home.... That's not cruel, that's air conditioning and with the kind of money they have, I'm sure the crate is quite roomy.

18. 9. It isn't anyone's bussiness where the dog was left, get real!

You... OUT of the gene pool, NOW.
Would you expect people to just walk by if it were a child? This is a living, breathing animal that suffers in distressing situations. Extreme heat is one of those types of situations. You are a melon head.

20. Don't be stupid!

The dog wasn't left in the car. The valet drove him to the dog groomer and he had a bath while they had lunch. When they were done he paged the valet and he brought the dog back.

Do you see any video of that dog left alone sitting in that car? NO. Because he wasn't. Don't you know that tyhe paprazzi only tell lies?

22. When I read the headline, I was like SHIT, I'm a major animal lover & always admired Bloom as being one too. They should have stayed home if the dog has separation anxiety. However, looking at the video, it's pretty obvious the dog wasn't even panting when he opened the door and also you can tell he is asking the valet to move the car to the shade. Still, I don't see how the pup wouldn't have "separation anxiety" when left in a car as well as at home.

He DOES take his pet everywhere though. He had him w/him everywhere here in Louisville when he was filming Elizabethtown. It was super hot then & there were pictures of he & Bosworth w/their dogs at the River Overlook getting them water out of the hoses and wetting them down. I think they do care.

23. Dogs can literally boil from the inside out, in hot weather. Leaving the windows cracked is not enough to prevent injury or death. A dog in my hometown boiled to death last summer (I volunteer at the local shelter).

The pet needs to be OUTSIDE or in AIR CONDITIONING, with water and shade. Could you imagine yourself, or your child, in a car with the windows cracked? It is not enough. He has enough money to hire someone to walk the dog, or sit with the dog in a situation like that. I am disappointed.

24. I agree with the comment it really isn't our business but...since they are celebrities it is inevitable for an opinion here and there. I also agree with everyone that you shouldn't leave your pet in the car. Doing such a thing is a no-no! Some cities have drastic animal cruelty laws that prohibit this behavior and you could get a large fine. I only have 2 concerns: "Don't they have Doggy Daycares in California?" -So they can chill and enjoy their lunch. & "Since Orlando and Kate both adopted dogs from the same shelter, does this mean her pooch is in the trunk?"-Let's hope not! Maybe she left her dog at home and for whatever reason Orlando didn't want to leave his dog with hers? After this incident, I won't be surprised if Orlando and Kate make a statement.

25. hmmm, could be all of you are right.

Or he did think erronously, they did have an outdoor eatery. OR the dog acted up and needed to be put in the car.

Eh, not my life....and it's not going to do a blessed thing to me either way

26. It was approximately 108 degrees in Studio City on Sunday. There is NO EXCUSE whatsoever, for Orlando's dog having been left in his car un-attended. Hit the drive thru if you're so hungry, take the dog home, hire a dog sitter if you have to and come back, but NEVER leave an animal (or a child) in a vehicle un-attended on a hot day, even with the windows fully down. IT CAN KILL!!!!!!!

27. Funny, the article tells just about everything they did...EXCEPT for the length of time they were at the resturant.

AND was Sidi (his dog) ever taken out by Bloom in the first place and then escorted BACK to the car. Like the above poster stated, Bloom has taken that dog around the world with such care; in fact there are pics of him bottle feeding the pup water.

Maybe just maybe, the dog was not behaving and for a few more minutes, it needed to go in the car.

But really the dog looks fine. If he did absolutely NOTHING for the pup,ignored him, I would be upset.

28. I think EVELYN HENDRICKSON has some "separation anxiety"... wow!

29. I think they are both idiots for doing this....complete idiots. Just goes to show that money and fame/power does NOT equal intelligence.
