Jordan Fields went in front of an Isabella County judge on Friday.
In November, Fields dropped off this starving dog in Mount Pleasant at the Isabella County Animal Shelter claiming that he was simply a Good Samaritan who'd found the dog.
Fields is now charged with abandoning it, cruelty to an animal, having an unlicensed dog, and failure to keep it vaccinated.
He'll be back in court next week.
Meanwhile, the pit bull - renamed Doug - is slowly recovering.
