A man was cited for animal cruelty after he left his Labrador retriever mix for about 2-1/2 hours inside a vehicle parked with no shade and the windows rolled up. The man went to visit his father, then decided to go to lunch and forgot about his dog. Police received a call that the dog was inside the vehicle thrashing around, which meant the dog was probably having a seizure. When an animal control officer arrived after 1:45 p.m., the dog was already dead.

Every day, Salt Lake County Animal Services gets about three to six heat-related calls of animal cruelty or animals in distress, said an agency spokeswoman.
