Ohio: Woman cited for leaving dog in hot car while at the mall

OHIO -- At 10:15 a.m. July 14, a caller informed police that a dog was alone in a parked car outside of Nordstrom at Beachwood Place, and that the animal appeared to be in distress.

Officers noted that it took 50 minutes after police received the call for the owner to return to the auto.

I hope they didn't leave the poor dog in the car the entire time!

The owner, a Garfield Heights woman, 48, was cited for cruelty to a companion animal.
