Bath, NY – A New York couple was arrested after their dog died in their Bath yard in extreme heat. According to sources, Theodore W. Furia, 35, and Nicole M. Wandell, 31, were arrested on Monday, June 23, after Village of Bath animal control officers found their dog dead from heat stroke on their lawn.
Furia and Wandell’s neglect resulted in charges of Failure to provide proper sustenance, a class A misdemeanor, and appropriate shelter for dogs left outdoors, a violation.
The couple had left the dog outside, without access to shade or clean water, for an extended period of time in “extremely hot” weather.
As heatwaves spread across much of the nation, it is crucial to ensure that your dogs are kept safe from the heat. Always provide fresh, cool water and shade. Ideally, dogs should be brought indoors to be kept cool.
Some ideas to keep outside dogs from suffering in the heat:
- A kiddie pool filled with water, in a shaded area
- A sprinkler
- Provide a sunshade area (shade sail or tarp) for dogs to escape the intense heat
- Freeze 2-liter plastic bottles and leave in the shaded area for your dog
- Ensure that the water bucket is weighted or otherwise unable to be tipped over – check often to ensure that it stays full and cool
If temperatures are extreme and you can’t bring your dog inside, please find someone who can care for them temporarily — no backyard setup, no matter how creative, can replace the safety of an air-conditioned environment.
Thanks for reading. We appreciate you!

THESE FUCKHEADS!!! It’s simple – if it’s too hot for you – DUH, IT’S TOO HOT FOR YOUR DOG!!! THESE STUPID PEOPLE NEED TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON.
Stupid bastards need a dose of the same treatment. You can tell by the photos that they do not have a quarter of a brain between them. Bastards need the ‘gasoline treatment. You know , held down, doused with gasoline and flick a match. Then see if the idiots think it is funny. Motherfucks like this need swiftly removing from our world.

Again, New York, won’t hold my breath that anything will be done, maybe a fine, so the cops and Judges can stuff their pockets with money, but laws to make them pay in both fine and jail time, don’t make me laugh. Prove me wrong New York…..
You have got it 100% right! These bloody so-called ‘bent’Judges and defence lawyers could not give a flying ‘fuck’. These are the buggers who need a severe lesson. A taste of what the tortured dog suffered. All these greedy ‘could not give a toss pricks care about is how much more money they can amass! Also no doubt scared of any repercussions from the ‘perps’ afterwards! As for the two torturing pieces of shit in the photos, a visit from an Animal Activist group or ‘street’ Justice Vigilantes would help them to see the error of their useless ways. I mean, these two bastards will NEVER be any use to the world so would be better off out of it! Surely they would have heard the dog barking??
Would I do what I say to help them on their way for the sake of this innocent tortured dog?
You bet I bloody well would. No hesitation!!!!

These two selfish creeps need to die in the same fashion as that innocent dog.
Theodore W. Furia and Nicole M. Wandell must die!!! KILL THESE TWO EVIL DEVILS NOW!!!! That poor precious dog deserves JUSTICE and these two monsters who killed him deserve to burn in hell!!!!
Good tips but how about you just bring your outside dog into the AC where your pathetic butt resides. It won’t kill you to let you dog inside…if they were trained properly it won’t be an issue. If you don’t want to do that then how about you side outside next to them all day and suffer the heat yourself. If it’s ok for them it should be ok for you.
Unfortunately these are two of the stupid fucking pricks that I believe I mentioned before.. They are the ‘ idiot brigade who somehow manage to live without a brain. You see, their minus 100 mentality would not tell them that the dog was in distress, as they would not even know there was anything wrong!
Street justice is what these pricks need here to wake them from their no doubt ‘drugged up’ stupor!!
