Leighann Pomplas is charged with animal cruelty, but she told WPXI she didn't do anything wrong.
"I mean, he was only out for approximately, like, three hours and I came back out and I had a gallon of water to give him more water and I thought he was laying down and I walked over and he was dead," she said.
People who live nearby told police it was closer to seven hours that the dog was left outside in the heat.
