According to police, on Aug. 22, a manager of the Shoprite on Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield notified police that a dog had been left in a locked car in the parking lot in front of the store. Police said witnesses told them the dog had been in the car for more than 40 minutes. Police said Pittu later acknowledged that he knew it had been too hot in the car to leave his dog, but they said he showed no remorse for having done so.https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Actor-gets-probation-in-dog-abuse-case-17669776.php
