Original Post:

Fox 25 Boston is reporting that the owner of a South Boston dog training facility is facing animal cruelty charges after pets were allegedly abused on the premises.

The owner of Falco K9, Tyler Falconer, will be arraigned later this month on three felony counts of animal cruelty and three counts of tethering confinement later this month. Back in March, Falco K9, closed its South Boston location after reports of mistreatment.

Court documents allege Falconer did not provide three dogs, Luna, a female Cane Corso, Watch, a male Rhodesian Ridgeback and Sawyer, a male golden retriever with the necessary amount of food and drink. You can read more about this here.

    Not sure what your comment is meant to mean, Danny. Might interest you to know Luna, the Cane Corso in the article, is owned by a Boston-native fireman.

    Danny sounds like he’s still pissed that his Grand Mother sold her house in Southie, and he was expecting to get rich off of it but found out 10 people were listed on the will, so he only walked away with like 70 grand after taxes and still lives on the south shore while the Yuppies enjoy the neighborhood he grew up in :)
