A couple have been charged with animal cruelty after carrying out a DIY amputation on their pet dog after he was hit by a car.
Alberto Castaneda, 51, and Maria Banuelos, 59, were busted after animal control officers found their one-year-old black lab mix in terrible condition.
The dog had part of his left hind leg cut off as Castaneda is believed to have tried to avoid having to pay expensive veterinarian fees.
