A man has been charged with animal cruelty following investigations into the death of a German Shepherd in Coffs Harbour earlier last week.
Emergency services were called to the Pacific Highway, Coffs Harbour, about 2pm on Wednesday, after members of the public saw a deceased dog in an unattended Holden utility.
Police say the owner of the one-year-old German Shepherd left him in the vehicle for a number of hours without water while he attended a nearby licensed premises.
The Queensland man is due to appear at Coffs Harbour Local Court in February 2019.
