BEXAR COUNTY, Texas - A northeast Bexar County man is accused of leaving two dogs in a hot car for more than eight hours while he drank alcohol, then fell asleep.

Bexar County sheriff's deputies arrested Joseph Paz, 34, Sunday night on two counts of animal cruelty.

A report says someone who lives with Paz returned to the home on Woodlake View and found the dogs inside a parked car.
