Charges pending on owners of dog with embedded collar

TEXAS -- Animal cruelty charges are pending against a couple of dog owners. Neighbors in the 3500 block of Bluebonnet say their two dogs are not taken care of, but one in particular is in really bad shape.

The pit bull mix, neighbors say, has had a choke collar embedded in her neck for nearly a month.

When animal control officers came out, they tried to contact the owners, but they wouldn't answer. A violation notice was left on their door. Officers say if the owners don't contact them by Monday, they will seize the dog.
