A Waterloo man has been arrested after he left his dog in a crate to die, according to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier. Animal Control officials were called to the home of 28 year old Wynston Bailey on Friday. They found a Husky Pit Bull mix dead in a crate in the garage. Bailey claimed that he did not have enough money to buy dog food so he fed the dog table scraps. He says he then was able to buy dog food but the dog would not eat it. Animal Control officials found the dog emaciated with sunken eyes, signs of dehydration, and curled up on a dirty blanket. The dog had burns on its stomach from having to stay on its urine-soaked blanket for an extended time. The dog weighed just 23 pounds and had been eating its blanket. Cedar Bend Humane Society found that the dog died of malnutrition and starvation.
