OVERHEATED DOG LEADS TO CITATION

• Centralia police were called to a city parking lot on the 100 block of North Tower Avenue about 4 p.m. yesterday where they found a dog had been left in a hot vehicle for what they learned was more than two hours. Officers could see the Blue Heeler-type dog was panting heavily and appeared to be in distress, according to Centralia Police Officer John Panco. While police were attempting to find the truck’s owner, the owner arrived, Panco said. The dog was given some water and seemed to be okay, he said. The temperatures inside the truck were measured between 92 degrees and 102 degrees, according to police. The owner, Gary J. Mersereau, 30, of Pe Ell was cited for misdemeanor animal negligence.
