4 people are accused of starving a dog to death in Ontario County.

60-year-old Robert Walker, 54-year-old Amy Walker, 37-year-old Cory DiSanto, and 36-year-old Alicia Wright are all charged with aggravated animal cruelty.

The county Humane Society says they found a 3-year-old Dogo Argentino dead inside an outdoor kennel behind a home on Cress Road in Phelps last month.

A necropsy showed starvation was the cause.

Five dogs inside the home have been seized and are getting veterinarian care.
