On July 13, 2019, the Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Wal-Mart parking lot in Warsaw, for a report of a dog left in a vehicle.
Upon arrival, the Deputy located the dog and observed that the dog was sweating profusely, breathing heavily, and having a hard time keeping its head up. The Deputy unlocked the vehicle and supplied the dog with water.
The owner, Jeremy Harris, 38, of Warsaw, exited the store and approached the vehicle. Harris advised that he did not intend on being in the store for so long. Due to the extreme temperature and condition of the dog, Harris is charged with confinement of a companion animal in a vehicle during extreme temperatures. Harris is to answer the charges on a later date.
