So since the dog was old and had arthritis it was his own fault that he was outside, covered with snow and frozen to the ground?!! How long does it take for an old dog with arthritis to get covered with snow and FROZEN to the GROUND? Maybe Sutton's owner should be required lie himself down on the ground in snowy 6 degree weather so he will be better able to judge next time! Idiot gets off with animal torture and all is right?....hardly!

This is just sad. I can't understand anyone who abuses an animal.

If the animal is old and sick, how about euthanizing it? At least then you are treating it with the respect and care it deserves.

Leaving it out to freeze is just disgusting.
