But witnesses say when the owner came out of the store, she was furious, and demanded deputies take action.

"If the owner was okay with that, and didn't want any charges, would he have been arrested?" asked 11Alive's La'Tasha Givens.

"No," said Oconee County Chief Deputy Lee Weems. "We would not have made those charges on our own. The deputies on scene say the owner of the dog and the car were very insistent that he be charged with criminal trespassing."

She told police it had only been five minutes.

Even if it *was* only five minutes (which the window-breaker disputes), you do not leave a dog alone in a car any more than you do a kid.
