BAY SHORE, Long Island -- A Long Island man was charged with animal cruelty after his dog was found severely emaciated.

Miss Pretty was seized by Suffolk County SPCA and immediately transported to an emergency animal hospital by Islip Animal Shelter for medical treatment.

Tenzer is scheduled to appear in court November 17.
