Elaina Bryant was identified as the owner of the 17 dogs after conducting an investigation, the Davidson County Sheriff's Office (DCSO) confirmed in a statement on social media. Authorities say Bryant, 56, of Thomasville, N.C., was "grossly negligent in the care and control of the animals." Detectives consulted with the District Attorney’s Office to review the evidence and determine official charges.

Officers alleged that Bryant let the dogs run loose after nightfall, and that all of the dogs lived in feces without food. According to the arrest warrant, the dogs were without vaccines or vet care and had low body scores.

My heart goes out to Mr. Bodenheimer's loved ones. Completely preventable save for a criminally negligent and irresponsible pet owner.
