A Florida man was arrested after one of his dogs, a Chihuahua puppy, died after it was found on the side of the road, according to deputies. Detectives later found out that the dog's owner, Thomas Byers, had allegedly left the puppy outside for several days in a kennel without food or water.

The 65-year-old was arrested and charged with animal abandonment and aggravated animal cruelty on Sunday, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

The dog passed away despite first responders' attempts to render aid.

Deputies met with Byers at his home, where they found a second Chihuahua in a kennel outside. The puppy was surrendered and Byers was taken into custody.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE??!!! In what level of Hell is leaving a puppy/any living creature outside without food and water an acceptable idea?!!
Except it would put me down in the gutter with him, I vote we do the same to him.

My dogs have been so special to me! I would never want them to suffer the heat, go without food or be left with anyone who would treat them poorly! Sugar Cookie, you are right, this man deserves the same thing he did to the dog.
