Tony Silva isn't the dog owner, he owns the property and rents it out. Some asshole named Milton is the dog's owner.

I owned a Siberian Husky that hated being inside. It didn't matter how cold it was outside, he loved it. I miss my old pal.
NDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Criminal charges were being pursued after two dog owners left their dogs outside in the cold and the animals froze to death, officials from Animal Care and Control said Wednesday.
On Tuesday, an Animal Care and Control worker told 24-Hour News 8 that as many as seven dogs froze to death in Marion County this week. Officials clarified that number on Wednesday.
Two dogs with a home died, and an unknown number of stray dogs also froze to death, officials said. The volume of phone calls into Marion County Animal Care and Control made it difficult to pinpoint the exact number. The remains of stray dogs are cleaned up by the Indianapolis Department of Public Works.
The dangerous temperatures are taking a toll on pets.
Animal Control officers had been called out because two pet dogs in Marion County had been left outside in the frigid conditions and died.
Animal Care and Control said they had a constant stream of phone calls since 10 a.m. Sunday.
People have called Animal Care and Control for a number of issues, including help with cats, horses, goats and exotic birds.
Indianapolis Animal control officers wrote more than 70 citations during the storm, ranging from a dog being left outside to one not having updated tags.
But when a pet dies, it becomes a criminal case.
On a warmer but still snow covered day in Indianapolis, 24-Hour News 8 thought it would be a long shot to find a pet left out in the cold but that idea was wrong.
24-Hour News 8's Jeff Wagner found a dog named Chance, and luckily she was only roaming a few houses down from where she lived.
“She has come back every time I've clapped my hands, but as soon as I walk outside then she takes off, she's been taking off all morning,” said owner Beverly Patton.
She said a frozen leash, combined with Chance's love for running are the only reasons we found her alone outside.
“I cannot imagine leaving your dogs out, that's like people,” she said.
But unfortunately some owners did.
“You need to bring them in or we will confiscate them for their safety,” said Dan Shackle, administrator for Indianapolis Animal Care & Control.
His officers did confiscate a few pets during the storm.
Some dogs were found with frostbite on their paws or ears. Often times their water bowls were frozen over.
Those dogs now in kennels, just like the others who are hoping to get adopted. But unfortunately, two pet dogs didn't survive while outside, meaning their owners could face criminal charges.
“Depending on the facts in the individual case it could either be an ‘A’ misdemeanor or ‘D’ felony,” he said.
Shackle hopes justice is served in those cases. But mainly, he just wants owners to take better care of their pets.
“When you ask if I'm glad that only two died, yes I'm glad more of them didn't die, but the two shouldn't have happened in the first place,” he said.
If a dog was confiscated, the owner will get a citation. They'll have a date in court where a judge will determine what type of penalty they'll face, like a fine.
The judge also has final say on whether or not the pet should be returned to the owner.
So what should you do if you see a pet left out in the cold?
The Humane Society says you should write down as many details as you can, even take pictures or video if it's safe.
Then contact your local animal control or sheriff's department. Make sure you also take notes and follow up if the situation doesn't get better.

Warning: Kleenex alert.
There is a heartrending moment when pet owners realize it's time it time to say a final goodbye to their dear companion. For Massachusetts State Trooper Christopher Coscia, it came on a cold morning in early January when Dante, his K-9 partner of more than eight years-a big, loyal, smart German Shepherd-suffered a yet another seizure in the fresh snow outside of their house. "He was so beautiful, he was hard no to love," Coscia tells Yahoo Shine. "Everybody just wanted to be with him." When the officer got up his nerve to bring the animal to put to be sleep, they took what he refers to as "One Last Ride" in a moving obituary he posted on the State Police Facebook page on Tuesday. He says he thought he was just putting it up for his colleagues at headquarters who knew Dante, but he's since received an outpouring of love and support from as far away as England, and the tribute has been liked over 8,000 times.
"Dante was best described as a one-person dog," Coscia wrote, "Every morning when I opened the door to his kennel he would jump up on me, wrap his paws around my waist, get his morning greeting and pat from me, storm up the stairs, and push the door open ready to go to work." Coscia tells Yahoo Shine that the dog loved his job and on some days he wouldn't get out of the back of the cruiser to go home. "After my shift, I'd go to the car and open the door, and I'd have to grab him by the collar and say, 'That's it, work's over.'"
The letter outlines the dog's stunning career fighting crime throughout the state: how he tracked down abductees and murderers and sniffed out illicit drugs including more than 1,000 grams of heroin, over 8,600 grams of cocaine, at least 1,000 pounds of marijuana, as well as helped recover more than $14 million in cash. The dog was sharply intelligent, so clever that he learned how to open the cruiser door, a skill he used to get closer to his favorite person. "He took this new knowledge and taught himself to slide open the door that separated us in the cruiser, his way to always be close to me," he wrote. "While on patrol he would stick his head through for his occasional ear rub."
As vibrant and strong as the Dante appeared to be for much of his life, he suffered from incurable pulmonary hypertension, a disease that prevented him from absorbing enough oxygen. After a series of tests, his veterinian found that his heart had become enlarged and his brain was being suffocated. Coscia says Dante had his first seizure around Thanksgiving. Coscia's wife and two children, who were only one and three-years-old when Dante came to live with them, witnessed his last collapse in the yard through their kitchen window. "I realized my wife and two children had been intently watching us to make sure all was okay," he wrote. "But it wasn't, and when I walked in the door, my wife and daughter were crying, knowing what was to be coming...sooner than we were ready."
After more than 2000 official rides together-not counting the family vacations and trips to friend's houses because the dog hated being separated from his master-it was time for Coscia and his partner to take a final tour. Even though Dante had barely been able to walk after his seizure, Coscia described how the dog remained stoic and alert in the cruiser. They circled for eight hours, putting off the grim task ahead. "How does the dog who can barely breathe remain upright and vigilant for so long?" he wondered. Before they reached their destination, Coscia pulled into a parking lot to compose his last goodbye. "I write this story with tears in my eyes and flowing freely down my face. Dante is still somehow sitting upright watching me as I write about him, every once in awhile sticking his head through the cage, letting me know things will be alright."
Coscia tells Yahoo Shine that he hasn't been able to fully reread his letter, and that the loss of Dante has been rough on his whole family. But he adds that a new K-9 recruit is helping them through it. "Without Felix, it would have been impossible," he says referring to a bouncy three-year-old German Shepherd that he started training in September. "He's happy-go-lucky and always wagging his tail." Felix has his final exams this week, and if he passes, Coscia will soon be cruising with a new partner.

People always talk about dogs being man's best friend, but now pups are proving that they are a woman's best friend, too. Fiona Cole would certainly agree that her cocker spaniel Daisy not only has her back, but actually saved her life.
One night, Daisy suddenly began to sniff and nudge under Cole's left breast whenever she would sit on the couch. Cole thought nothing of it for three weeks until Daisy head-butted her breast. To the shock of Cole and her husband, a bruise and a large lump were evident by the morning. A trip to the doctor revealed that the lump was actually breast cancer. Cole was diagnosed with aggressive HER2-positive breast cancer, which had spread to her lymph nodes and had been diagnosed just in time to be able to treat it.
"Daisy is my guardian angel," Cole told Mirror News. "I have no doubt I owe her my life. Somehow she knew I had cancer even before I did."
Dogs are increasingly becoming known for being capable of detecting diseases in humans. Aside from breast cancer, they have also been able to detect bladder, skin and lung cancer. Their health-guardian status goes beyond just sniffing out cancer, though. They can also detect diabetes, heart attacks, schizophrenia and panic attacks.
