Bill Markowitz, of Keyport, was convicted of animal cruelty in Atlantic City Municipal Court after he let his two keeshonds dogs suffocate in a hot car last August.

Markowitz was sentence to 60 days in jail and a $2,000 fine. Markowitz will appeal the sentence.

Bill Markowitz parked his car on an Atlantic City street on Aug 3 leaving his two keeshonds locked inside. The temperature was about 90 degrees causing the dogs to die from the heat. When Markowitz returned to his car and found his two dogs dead, he took them out of the car and left them in a nearby patch of weeds.
