Kentucky: Wanted since 2012 on animal cruelty charges, police finally catch Edward Golden and Donna Golden

KENTUCKY -- It appears that animal cruelty charges were filed way back in 2012 for Edward Golden and Donna Golden.

They were accused of abandoning their border collie mix to starve to death in a house they'd moved out of.

Authorities suspect other animals had been locked in the basement as well.

Feces covered the floor and there was a hole in the back basement door. He said the hole appeared to have been chewed or scratched open for escape.

 

There were several articles posted in 2012. However, the stories stop so I suspect that they've been on the run all this time and have finally been caught and will face the consequences of what they've done to this poor dog.
