A Pennsylvania man was charged with leaving his dog locked in a parked car at the Maritime Center.
Police received a call from the parking lot patrol supervisor saying there was a Highland terrier in a van. The windows were rolled up, except for the passenger side front window, which was open about an inch, police said.
Police determined that the temperature inside the car was 105 degrees. The dog was panting heavily, police said. They tried to page the owner inside the aquarium, but were unsuccessful.
Police opened the passenger side of the car. While they were removing the dog they were approached by John Cino, 43, of Hawley, Pa., who said that it was his car. According to police, Cino said he had left the dog, Fin, in the car for about an hour, and that he had done it in the past without any issue.
The dog was taken into the shade. Police checked on him and determined that there would be no long-term health effects. Cino was given a summons for cruelty to animals.
