County: Winnebago

Disposition: Alleged

Alleged: Adult

Valentine, a 5-month-old puppy was hairless, gaunt and bruised. Animal cruelty charges are pending against Valentine's owner who so neglected the puppy that she died "emaciated and lethargic with severe skin issues," according to Humane Society and the Oshkosh Police Department.

The photos are hard to look at. Valentine was brought to shelter on Feb. 13, 2006. She was subsequently euthanized after doctors concluded she was too severely malnourished to save.

"This is something that had to occur over several weeks at a minimum to reach such a severe condition," veterinarian John Popp stated in a release announcing pending charges against Valentine's owner.
