Two Cases of Neglect Result in Death of Canines

Sheriff Richard K. Jones reports two cases of serious neglect that resulted in the deaths of two canines:

On July 10th, BCSO Deputy Dog Wardens were called to a residence on Sixth Ave in the City of Middletown for a subject that could not enter his residence due to a viscous dog. The victim identified the dog and told the Deputy Dog Warden it lived next door. When the Deputy Dog Warden approached that house at 866 Sixth Ave. he noticed a bad odor from an open window. Middletown Police responded and spoke with a maintenance worker on the property. He told police that the people who lived in the home had been gone for approximately three months. He stated he heard a dog barking and opened a window and the dog jumped out and ran away. When Police entered the residence they observed one deceased canine that had appeared to have been partially eaten possibly by the other canine. The residence was in deplorable conditions and there were food cans that the dogs had apparently attempted to chew through to get food. The Butler County Sheriff’s Office conducted further investigation and a witness identified the owner of the home and a warrant has been filed through Middletown Municipal Court on Nora Leanne Dunn, female, age 52, for 2 counts of Cruelty to Companion Animals, 2 counts of Abandonment of Animals, 2 counts of Failure to License, and 1 count of Failure to Confine. All these charges are still classed as misdemeanors in the State of Ohio. The dog has been properly treated by the Animal Friends Humane Society in Butler County and will be available for adoption.

On July 13, the Butler County Sheriff’s Office responded to 6583 Lorraine Dr. in Madison Township, after a neighbor complained of a canine tied to a clothes line pole on a short leash. The complainant told Sheriff’s Deputies that the dog had been barking all day and was sounding in distress. The deputy noticed the dog had no shelter, shade, food or water. He found an empty bucket and tried to give the dog water but it appeared too weak to stand. A BCSO Deputy Dog Warden was called to the scene but the dog died of a possible heat stroke prior to his arrival. It has not been confirmed how long the dog had been in this condition. Charges were filed against Tyler Pence, male, age 28, with Cruelty to a Companion Animal, and Failure to License.

Sheriff Jones is disgusted over cases like this and he will continue his promise to arrest and have the suspects prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
