A Pine Island man faces a felony animal torture charge in connection with a dog death on his property in Olmsted County.
Deputies responded to an animal mistreatment report in July at 82-year-old Hadley Thompson’s Pine Island home.
On arrival, officials found an eight-year-old dog lying on a dirt floor kennel with matted fur, feces, and maggots on its backside.
The dog’s condition was so poor it had to be euthanized.
Thompson is due in court next month.
