Dead and starving French mastiffs found on New York property
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police say they're looking for a dog owner who left nearly two dozen French mastiffs dead or starving on a rural property in upstate New York.
Troopers checking out a report of animal abandonment say they found nine dogs dead and 13 others emaciated on a property in Stratford, a sparsely populated town in the southern Adirondacks.
Police say the dogs had no food or water. They don't know when the dogs were last fed.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Troopers say some of the dogs were confined in a house on the property while others were in makeshift kennels and cages. The dogs were taken to a humane society in nearby Mayfield.
French mastiffs are a large breed of mastiffs that can weigh up to 145 pounds (66 kilograms).
