Dozens of dogs seized from Montana home

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Authorities seized 58 dogs from a Montana home during an animal cruelty investigation.

The Billings Gazette reports the case remains under investigation but Carbon County Sheriff Josh McQuillan says investigators found "extremely crowded and filthy conditions" inside the house.

They hadn't named the owner of the animals seized Tuesday from the home in Roberts.

The dogs are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, a popular toy breed, and included mothers, pregnant mothers, males and puppies bred for sale.

McQuillan has asked a local nonprofit to help care for the dogs.
