A woman has been charged with four counts of felony animal cruelty after authorities said that four dogs in her care died after being left inside a vehicle.
Tesia White stood before a Volusia County judge, sobbing as he read charges including four counts of felony cruelty to animals. New Smyrna Beach police officers said the 25-year-old White, who is visiting Florida from Missouri, left four dogs in her car while she and her boyfriend ate at a restaurant. The dogs later died.
A 4-year-old Golendoodle, 2-year-old Boxer, and two 12-week-old Goldendoodle puppies were in the vehicle and died, according to police records. The woman told deputies that she checked on the dogs once while at the restaurant, but found them all unconscious when she checked on them again after the meal, roughly an hour later, documents state.
"We leave them in the car all the time with it running and the AC on, but they just absolutely turned it off, this time," he said.
