Woman Keeps 49 Dogs After Court Order in Manhattan
In Manhattan, Magistrate Walter J Bayer allowed Mrs. Martha Hinrichson to keep 49 dogs if she cleans and maintains the 17 room brownstone with ASPCA oversight. The court initially required two dogs to be kept by Hinrichson while others were placed, citing neglected conditions and lack of basic utilities. Hinrichson, who funds care from rental income, pleaded that she cannot bear to lose her pets, and the judge noted a Tuesday deadline to suspend sentence if conditions improve.
