MIDDLEBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - A Middleborough man was a no-show at his arraignment on animal cruelty charges Thursday.
The charges stem from the dog Maverick, a German shepherd who was neglected and tangled in rope, eventually chewing off his own foot to escape.
Maverick underwent surgery and is recovering at home with his new family.
Maverick’s former owner, Kevin Kennedy, was set to be arraigned on a felony animal cruelty charge in Wareham.
But Kennedy did not show up.
