Trauthwein originally said he found the dogs, Porsche and Chloe, but further investigation indicated otherwise, according to detectives.
The two dogs are female and appear to be older. One of the two appears to be extremely malnourished. They were found Thursday in the 1000 Block of Franklin Street in Hamilton.
FIRST REPORT: Owner of malnourished dog charged with animal cruelty
“These dogs are safe at the Humane Society and are receiving medical treatment, but they have a long way to go,” the dog warden posted to Facebook.
One of the dogs needs timed feeding and monitoring and is receiving special treatment and care at the home of a deputy dog warden, the post said.
