Story summary

Anita Martin, 60, pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges on November 21 after leaving her 1-year-old mastiff mix named Frankie tied up at St. John’s Cemetery in Yonkers without food or water and with a slit throat.

The SPCA of Westchester released gruesome photos showing the dog's severe injuries, which required treatment from the Yonkers Animal Shelter.
