NEW YORK -- Ontario County Sheriff’s deputies said they charged a Middlesex man, Guy S. Johnson, 52, of 1764 Upper Road, with cruelty to animals after Johnson failed to provide
nourishment to his dog that was found Oct. 8 running down North Main Street in Canandaigua.
Deputies said the dog, a 6-year-old female, a Peekapoo, had a severe infection in her mouth that caused part of her jaw to deteriorate. Her fur was matted with feces, she had fleas, parasites and a skin infection, deputies said an examination showed.
The dog was treated by several veterinary clinics and is now in foster care, deputies said.
Johnson was given an appearance ticket to appear in City of Canandaigua Court and released.

Authorities rescue 29 dogs from puppy mill in Mercer County
WEST VIRGINIA — Twenty-nine dogs including German shepherds, Maltese, and peekapoos were found when a tip led law enforcement authorities to a puppy mill.
“We received an anonymous tip that somebody was selling dogs for $25 a piece,” Lt. Joe Parks of the Mercer County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday.
The 29 dogs included six German shepherds, Maltese, and peekapoo breeds, he said. There was also one dog with a litter that was a week old. One puppy was infected with a serious dog disease.
“We received information from a local veterinarian that dogs had contracted the deadly canine parvo virus,” Parks said.
Parks went Tuesday to Hatcher Hollow Road with First Sgt. M.R. Crowder of the West Virginia State Police Princeton detachment and a Mercer County animal control officer. The two owners were living in a doublewide trailer with the dogs, which were being kept in barricaded rooms.
Dogs were being kept in “very unhealthy and unsanitary conditions,” Parks said, who added “I’ve seen cleaner outdoor kennels.”
The dogs were confiscated and taken to the Mercer County Animal Shelter, which is seeking donations in order to care for the new arrivals, he said. The animals will be tested for parvo. Parks said the owners told investigators that the dogs had no vaccinations for any diseases including rabies. None of the dogs had county tags or any other documentation.
“We’re going to have to start from the ground up on each and every dog,” he stated.
No charges had been filed as of Wednesday, but the Mercer County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office will review the case, Parks said.

More charges being considered in dog mauling
PENNSYLVANIA -- Animal control officers are considering filing a more serious charge against the man whose Rottweiler mauled his neighbor’s dog after the smaller pet died from its wounds early Thursday.
Angel, the 10-year-old peekapoo owned by Kim Daugherty, died about 5 a.m. while being treated at the Washington Animal Hospital.
The dog had been mauled Tuesday night by a Rottweiler owned by Clifford Ayers, who lives next door to the Daugherty family on Barnett Street in Canton Township. Kym Secreet, the township’s animal control officer, had already filed a citation against Ayers for failing to confine or control his dog, but she said the more serious “dangerous dog” charge could be added.
“(The Rottweiler) might be friendly toward people, but the dog is obviously animal aggressive and for whatever reason it didn’t like that little dog,” Secreet said. “That little dog is dead, and I’m not happy about that.”
She said John Sheldon, the state’s dog officer, would make the final ruling on whether to file the more serious charge.
A witness told Secreet that she saw the Rottweiler sticking his head under the fence and had the peekapoo in its mouth. But Ayers said he doubts that happened because his dog is on a chain in the middle of the yard several feet away from the fence. He thinks the peekapoo came into his yard because he found droppings that appeared to come from a much smaller dog.
“My dog was nowhere near that fence line,” Ayers said. “My dog was in my yard on a chain, and (their) dog comes into my yard. Why am I responsible if you can’t control your dog? I shouldn’t be held responsible for something that ain’t my fault.”
Secreet said she believes Ayers should still be held accountable and be required to pay for the medical bills that topped $1,200 as of Wednesday.
“When you’re an animal owner, it’s an extra responsibility,” she said. “It’s personal property and you’re responsible for whatever happens.”
The Daugherty family was distraught with the death of their dog Thursday morning, but thanked Secreet for her work and veterinarian John Hansell for his attempts to save their pet.
They asked that any donations be made in Angel’s name and sent to the Washington Animal Hospital at 457 Tyler Ave.

Family worried about vet bills after dog mauling
PENNSYLVANIA -- Authorities say a Canton Township man will likely have to pay for more than $1,200 in veterinarian bills after his Rottweiler mauled a neighbor’s dog in their yard Tuesday night.
The peekapoo suffered several injuries – including a grotesque abdomen wound – that required two surgeries at Washington Animal Hospital with more procedures and follow-up care likely to push the bill higher.
The 10-year-old dog named Angel is expected to survive, but her family is concerned about how to pay for the immediate medical bills if their neighbor refuses to pay.
Kym Secreet, who is Canton Township’s animal control officer, said a witness told her the larger dog pushed its head below the fence separating the Barnett Street properties and had the peekapoo in its mouth. The Rottweiler’s owner, Clifford Ayers, was able to pull the dog back onto his property, but not before the smaller dog suffered deep gashes on her back and abdomen, Secreet said.
The gruesome scene was difficult for Kim Daugherty, who owns Angel, as her family searched for a vet open when the attack happened about 5 p.m.
“It just tore my dog apart,” Daugherty said. “I was hysterical. All I could do was cry and pray for my dog to make it. I was beyond crazy.”
Angel remained at the animal hospital, and Daugherty expects she will need another surgery for the wounds on her back. Daugherty, who said she is fighting pancreatitis and given just two years to live, is worried about how much higher the medical costs will rise above the first $1,229 bill.
Secreet, though, said that shouldn’t be a problem for the family since she plans to file a citation against Ayers for failing to contain or confine his dog. She said if found guilty, Ayers would be required to pay all of the medical bills and could face up to a $500 fine. Secreet said he was adamant that the peekapoo came into his yard, although she noted that he still must control his dog at all times.
She has not received other complaints about the Rottweiler and considered it a “friendly” dog.
“It wasn’t really a fair fight,” Secreet said. “In any instance, the peekapoo is going to lose. It’s not going to win a fight against a Rottweiler.”
Ayers could not be reached for comment.

Police find coward who fled with his killer dogs
AUSTRALIA -- POLICE and council officers have tracked down the owner of two dogs which allegedly attacked and killed a puppy on Moana Beach on Saturday.
The owner of the dogs left the beach with the animals, refusing to give his details, after one allegedly killed Alison Bandick's Pekingese poodle pup, Lily, and bit the Christie Downs woman.
Mrs Bandick was able to provide police with the man's mobile phone number because his partner had used a witness's phone to call him to come to the beach after the incident, about noon on Saturday.
Onkaparinga Council safety officers are expected to take statements from both dog owners this week before determining what action may be taken.
Mrs Bandick needed hospital treatment and a tetanus shot for a bite to her hand sustained while she was trying to save her dog.
Her other dog, a toy poodle, Jazz, was also bitten by one of two dogs that attacked her two small pups.
The Pekingese poodle, Lily, died on the beach after the attack.
Mrs Bandick said the girl who had been walking with the two dogs that attacked hers put them on a lead and called the owner, who refused to provide his details.
