Leaving a dog or a cat or any other animal in a car in Michigan could soon qualify as a felony.
Michigan lawmakers are considering joining 16 other states with similar laws by passing legislation that would make it illegal to keep an animal in a car in conditions that might endanger its "health or well-being." Michigan's law, though, would impose among the strictest penalties for endangering an animal's life.

If an animal dies inside a vehicle, the person who left the dog or cat there could go to jail for up to five years or be fined as much as $5,000, according to MLive (http://www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2016/05/leaving_dogs_in_cars_could_esc.html).
