Dog left in 100-degree weather, owners due in court By Matthew Longdon The Arizona Republic -12 News Breaking News Team Thu Aug 1, 2013 10:07 PM A Phoenix dog owner and her friend are facing trouble after allegedly leaving a dog in a car for at least 45 minutes on Friday evening when temperatures were at least 100 degrees, according to Scottsdale police records. A witness told police that a poodle, Peachy, was in a vehicle outside a restaurant in Scottsdale and panting heavily, according to records. At one point, Peachy tried to jump out of the window, but had to be put back in the car because its leash was attached inside the vehicle, records show. When the officer arrived, the driver, Phillip Don Mahr, 39, and the dog owner Mara Minnai,28, were leaving the restaurant and told the officer the dog was only in the car for a few minutes with water and the windows down. They also told police that Minnai checked on the dog several times. The officer noticed a knocked-over bowl in the back seat with no water near it, records show. The caller, a delivery driver for the restaurant, told police Peachy was panting heavily when he returned from a delivery and was barking loudly. Another employee told police he had to help the dog back in the car after it jumped out of the window and was hanging by its leash. The employee said the dog didn’t seem to be injured. Police records show that Mahr and Minnai had a bar tab in the restaurant and the time stamp showed they were inside for at least 45 minutes. Other employees told Mahr and Minnai they could sit on the patio and bring the dog to get it out of the heat, but they declined, according to records. Mahr said they refused because they were only picking up a to-go order. Peachy was still panting heavily and had a bright-red tongue after the officer spoke to witnesses. Police let both Mahr and Minnai leave with the dog after they signed a citation promising to appear in court. Mahr and Minnai are both facing animal neglect charges, according to police. |
