Neighbors decided to call the authorities and confirmed that the lives of seven dogs were hanging in the balance . Caterina Armanelli was caring for her Rhodesian Ridgeback named Brownie and a husky named Demon , her brother-in-law’s

Adam Manfield, Caterina’s brother-in-law, has a job that requires frequent flights out of town, so he often left his dog in Armanelli’s care. When authorities arrived, they found Brownie completely emaciated .

Fortunately, Demon and the puppies weren’t in as alarming a condition as poor Brownie, but they did need to be dewormed and bathed as soon as possible.

During the trial, Caterina tried to explain that she had wanted to move the dogs into her own home, but authorities rejected her defense .

Demon and his children were adopted and Brownie continues to slowly recover from the terrible abandonment that almost cost him his life .
