A woman has been arrested following the discovery of an emaciated dog who was abandoned in a cage in Wichita, Kansas. As reported by KAKE News, 26-year-old Raykesha Hardyway was arrested and charged for the abandonment of a dog named Bowie.

Hardyway was apprehended thanks to tips from the public. Surveillance footage revealed two suspects throwing a dog away outside of an apartment complex dumpster on the night of January 8. A woman taking out her own trash discovered the abandoned dog, locked in a cage, and took him to a veterinarian for emergency care.

Bowie is recovering under the wing of the Wichita Animal Action League – the animal welfare agency has been providing Facebook followers with regular updates about his progress. On January 12, the agency wrote:

Here’s some good news for your Sunday: BOWIE GETS TO COME HOME TOMORROW!

In the last 24 hours he has:
• eaten and swallowed his IV line 😂
• made to vomit up his IV line 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
• eaten his full caloric allowance and kept it down

Tomorrow he goes to a WAAL foster where we will slowly transition him off critical care food and onto puppy food, and then onto dry food. All of this will be done with our vets close oversight.

We’ll keep you updated on this sweet boy, don’t worry! We know you all love him as much as we do.

Hardyway is facing one count of animal cruelty (abandonment – failure to provide adequate provisions) and an outstanding warrant; no word on whether or not another suspect has been identified for arrest.
