Khadijah Hopkins pleaded guilty to burglary and cruelty to animals Friday.
[She had originally been charged with burglary, arson and felony aggravated cruelty to animals for having burned the dog alive.]
Prosecutors say she broke into an acquaintance's home on Elm Street back in November and stole several items.
Before leaving, they say she set the house on fire.
Firefighters found a dead dog in its crate, inside the burning home.
Hopkins faces 8 years in state prison when she's sentenced in March.
