Two dogs abandoned in an empty home

[Catherine]

A man has been charged after his two dogs were found dead in an abandoned home.  He left them locked in a bedroom with no food or water. In desperation they ate wood and plastic and anything else in hopes of staying alive. Sadly they were found too late.

There is never an excuse for leaving animals to die like this. If he turned they loose they might have been found and rescued. He could have left them at a shelter.
He could have done anything, but what he did. He set things up so that they would die slowly and painfully in fear and distress.  I can't imagine why anyone would do this to their digs. He deserves to be charged with cruelty.
