QUINCY, MASS. (WHDH) - A Quincy woman who left her German Shepard in a hot car for up to a half-an-hour last week appeared before a judge on Tuesday.

Corinna K. Cochrane, 30, was arraigned on criminal charges after good Samaritans who noticed her German Shepard panting heavily in a sweltering car called the police, who placed her under arrest.

Cochrane adhered to a court order and took the dog to a veterinarian after the incident.

The dog is said to be in good condition.
