Anisha ButallaJANESVILLE (WREX) - A Wisconsin woman faces charges after her dog was left to die inside her hot car.
Police say Anisha Butalla, 24, of Wausau, left her 2-year-old pit bull in her car at the Wal-Mart parking lot at 2785 Milwaukee Road while she attended a court matter in Janesville.
The dog was locked in the car without sufficient ventilation on Tuesday, during the heat of the day when the temperature was 86 degrees outside.
Police officers and Rock County Animal Control officers broke the window of the car to try to save the dog, but it was too late. The dog died at the scene.
Butalla is being held at the Rock County Jail on a charge of felony mistreating an animal, resulting in death.
