Sonoma County Animal Services is recommending the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office file felony animal abuse charges against the owner of a horse that died on a property in Santa Rosa last month. The D.A.’s Office received an official report from animal services this week. Neighbors say a dog repeatedly harassed and chased an emaciated horse around a pasture every day for up to a year. On July 10th, the dog attacked the horse. A vet euthanized the horse due to its injuries. The dog was later put down as well.
