Panama City Police are investigating the death of a three-month-old puppy after officers found it locked inside a hot car for over two hours Tuesday.
Police say a couple left the animal in the Panama City Mall parking lot while they went shopping.
When officers arrived, they say the puppy was severely dehydrated with a temperature of over 107 degrees.
Investigators rushed it to Forest Park Animal Hospital after attempting to save its life. The puppy died a few hours later.
Det. Brenda Pelfrey said, "When they're locked inside a car and they're panting, that goes inside the car and it gets even hotter. The dogs don't stand a chance."
Officers initially charged 17-year-old Travis Davis, Jr. with one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty, but since the puppy died, he's now facing a felony charge.
His girlfriend, 18-year-old Dianna Brummell, is also facing felony charges.

The couple went in to get job applications, not to shop. The puppy was accidently only left for 45 minutes and not over two hours. AND the puppy died at 5 AM the NEXT MORNING, not in a couple of hours. You people need to report the RIGHT facts instead of opinion. Just another media conspiracy twisting the facts instead of getting the truth out.
Oh how I would like to be the one to decide the punishment for these horrible monsters.
how stupid are these people? why would they leave a dog in the car and go shopping?! they are monsters!!
