“(The dog) was crying really hard and I knew that it needed help,” said one witness. “It was trying to climb out of the vehicle. It had clearly been in there for a long time.”
Anthony Griffith is charged with animal cruelty after the dog was left in a car at Southeast Georgia Health System in St. Marys.
The dog fell to the pavement when an officer arrived and opened the car door.
