Girten said in his report that he observed a dog in the passenger seat of a black Pontiac G6 in the parking lot.
According to the report, Girten made contact over the phone with the dog’s owner and the 22-year-old male stated that he had left the dog in the vehicle while attending a funeral in another town, but was delayed in returning due to car trouble.
