A lady was charged with four counts of animal cruelty after leaving four dogs in a hot car while eating at a nearby restaurant.

Tesia White, of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, allegedly left the dogs in a car with the windows up and the air conditioning on. She claims she returned to check on them during her lunch hour, but when she returned to the car after her meal, the animals were in trouble.

In a recorded 911 call, a person can be heard describing the scene: “I’m outside of Corkscrew Bar and Grill on Canal Street and we have four dogs on the side.

“They accidentally turned the air conditioning off in the car and they were trapped in a hot car and now they’re all laying on their side and none of them are moving.

“We’re pouring water on them but they look unconscious.”

When police came, Ms White was extremely disturbed as she clutched one of the dogs, saying, “I should not be allowed to own a dog” and “I cannot believe I let this happen.”

Ms White was detained at the scene, according to body camera footage released later by the police department.

As reported by Newsweek, the dogs were “a four-year-old Goldendoodle, two approximately 12-week-old Goldendoodle puppies, and a two-year-old Boxer.”
