Cesar DeJesus Dehoyos, 36, was charged with cruelty to non-livestock animals/torture after a severely malnourished dog was found in his backyard, according to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. The dog looked like a German Shepherd mix but due to his malnourished condition, it was hard to tell his breed.
Deputies called the owner, identified as DeHoyos, and waited for him to return home from SeaWorld. He was taken into custody.Three other dogs were in the yard, including a puppy that was malnourished. The two other dogs appeared to be a breeding pair of German Shepherds and looked “very healthy.”
