A dog owner has been charged after police say the animal was left in a hot car in Huntsville on Sunday.
According to the OPP, the dog was spotted in the car on Main Street East in Huntsville, at around 4:15 p.m. The back window was open just a few inches, but provincial police say the Husky appeared to be in stress.

Temperatures across the region hovered above 30 C over the weekend. Police report the temperature inside the car was extremely hot.
The owner, a 27-year-old man, has been charged with cause damage or injury to animal.
He will appear in court next month.
