Two women were arrested and jailed Tuesday for leaving a puppy in a hot car while they were at the Hard Rock Casino, police said.
Faith and Kandice Williams were taken to Rogers County Jail after the dog was found in a car outside the casino hotel in Catoosa.
Police said that they responded to a call from a casino maintenance man around 1 p.m. Tuesday stating a dog had been left in a silver Buick for more than two hours.
Casino security said they were able to unlock the door without breaking the window, and they took the Dachshund-mix puppy to the front of the casino, where they gave it water and cooled it down.
Officials took the puppy to Catoosa Animal Hospital for an evaluation.
They said it had fleas, but it is doing okay.

Faith and Kandice Williams were both charged with cruelty to animals. Police said Faith Williams faced additional charges after allegedly trying to hide prescription drugs.
Reports said it was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit when the dog was left in the car.
