She has the habit of keeping her dogs locked in her car for "never too long" she claims.

It seems a couple passing through spotted her car w/dog inside and called the police.

This woman was cited for animal cruelty!

She had to get a lawyer for $2,000.00 and she had to go to court and fight the charges as she could have ended up in jail for a year she was told, so, she fought the charges and won actually by having 150 character witnesses on her side whatever the hell that means.

In any event, I rather doubt she'll be driving around leaving her dogs locked up in the car/truck any more.

It is too bad that the cops did not get there in time on this woman you mention in your post.

Heat like that call kill an animal very fast as you already know and shame on those that are so selfish that do things like this. They do not deserve to own anything, much less a dog or a cat or anything else that is alive and breathing IMO!!
