The tragic story about the 150 dogs that were found dead in a Dearborn, Mich., house last week keeps getting worse. On Monday, city animal control officers found six more dead dogs.
The man who owned the dogs, 56-year-old Kenneth Lang Jr., was under psychiatric evaluation this week, although his lawyer said he should not face criminal charges.
"He didn't abuse these animals," attorney James Schmier said. "They were abused because of the environment they all were living in -- Kenneth included -- but they were relatively healthy. They weren't malnourished.
"He considered them his family."
Even so, it's clear the dogs were not properly cared for. When officers found them, they were in a house filled with feces and debris. More than 100 dogs, mostly Chihuahua and Chihuahua mixes, were found alive and are considered adoptable by the Dearborn Animal Shelter.
The best part of this story is that people are stepping forward to adopt the dogs who survived. In fact, the animal shelter said it had stopped accepting applications for adoptions.
