A woman in Strongsville, Ohio was forced to endure the harsh conditions she subjected onto her dog after she left the animal locked inside of a hot car.

On April 12, an animal lover called police after noticing a dog inside of a black Nissan Sentra at a Walmart parking lot, reports The Huffington Post. After police arrived on the scene, the pet owner insisted that the dog was fine.

However, in order to make a point, the officer told the woman to sit inside of the vehicle while the windows were rolled up and the engine was on for a few minutes.

The officer then noted that the woman seemed uncomfortable. He also warned that she would be issued a citation if she left her dog in the car again, reports Cleveland.com.

A similar situation occurred in 2014 after a woman from Belen, New Mexico, filed a complaint against an officer that she said told her to sit inside her hot car where she had left her dog.

Shelly Nicholas of Belen, New Mexico, described Officer Vincent Kreischer as "abusive"; however, the cop told local station KOB that he merely suggested that Nicholas sit inside of the car so that she would learn a lesson about animal safety.

In video footage captured by Kreischer's body camera, the cop is heard scolding her for keeping her dog inside of a car in 90-degree weather and without ventilation.

He also used a chart to explain to her that the temperature inside of the car could rise to 114 degrees after just 10 minutes.

"You can wait in the truck and close the door and turn it off since it's not that hot," he told her.

Following the incident, Nicholas received a misdemeanor animal cruelty citation

According to Red Rover, a nonprofit that helps animals in crisis, dogs are more vulnerable to high temperatures than people since they use the pads on their feet and panting to stay cool.
