Through further investigation troopers discovered that the dog belonged to Miranda Waldman, 24, of Williamsport. Waldman admitted to police that she is the owner and left her dog at the Hobby Lobby parking lot.
PSP states due to the dog being subject to frigid temperatures/winds and the dog’s overall condition, Wladman is facing felony animal cruelty charges filed through the district court.
