Panicked Kelly Ripa Called 911 After Accidentally Locking Her Dog, Keys and Phone in the Car: 'Mark Is Going to Kill Me'

Kelly Ripa was more concerned for her own safety after accidentally locking her dog Lena inside the car over Memorial Day Weekend.

During the Tuesday, May 26, episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, Ripa jokingly feared for her life while recalling a "scary" incident that occurred over the weekend involving her and husband Mark Consuelos' precious pooch and a hot parking garage.

Ripa was recalling her and Lena's attendance at the Palm Springs street festival, where she did some shopping for her family, when she revealed a stressful situation that occurred as she was trying to leave.

After buckling Lena's dog carrier into the car, putting her purse down and walking to the other side, Ripa attempted to open the driver's side door when she realized the car was locked.

"Door is locked," she recounted during Tuesday's broadcast, noting her keys and phone were both stuck inside the vehicle with their tiny pet. “Car is on. I put the key in the ignition. I turned the car on, put the AC on to cool it down for Lena. But it's locked."

Ripa's car had been parked inside of a garage connected to a casino. During her panic, she waved down a man driving a van, informing him, "I'm so sorry. That is my car. I locked my keys and my human dog and my phone inside the car.' I said, ‘My human dog.' Because they need to understand this is more than a dog, it's a person."

After stopping the individual, who suggested Ripa call AAA, the famed actress confessed, "If I'm being honest, I don't know what AAA is."

Thankfully, the man let her call 911, however, Ripa was soon informed that police officers can't break into cars and referred to a tow company.

At this point, the Hope & Faith actress noted the man, whose name she eventually learned was Leo, had been "very patient" but grew eager to go inside.

"His wife was in the casino. He needed to bring her money," she explained, however, Leo was kind enough to direct casino security to sit with Ripa until the tow company arrived.

While the entire situation only lasted around 20 minutes, Ripa admitted, "It felt like three years."

Once she was finally back in her car, both Ripa and her pup were immensely relieved.

“I sit down in the car. I fasten my seatbelt and Lena's head pops up. And she was like, ‘Oh, you have no idea.' She looked at me like, ‘There were strangers trying to break into this car. I stayed hidden,'" the mother-of-three quipped.

Speaking on behalf of Lena, whom Consuelos referred to as "my dog," the Riverdale actor joked, "She was like, ‘Girl!' Thank God you had the air conditioning on. That was dangerous.”

Ripa was well aware of the many dangers she avoided, quipping, "It was so scary. And all I could think of was, ‘Forget the dog, Mark is going to kill me.'"

"I had a bunch of missed calls from you so I was like, ‘He knows. The dog is [telepathically] communicating with him,'" Ripa comedically recalled of retrieving her phone after the parking garage ordeal.
