DUPLIN COUNTY, N.C. -- A Duplin County, N.C., Sheriff's Office dog has died after being left in a hot car.
The sheriff said the 9-year-old Belgian Malinois named Kela was left overnight inside the vehicle last month.
Deputy Kevin Williams was on duty when he rushed to pick up his sick child from school.
When Williams arrived home, he fed the dog, but forgot to take Kela out of the cruiser. The dog was found dead the next morning.
The deputy has been reassigned to the courthouse as a bailiff.
