Deputies learned all the dogs were kept inside the garage without any air conditioning or access to food or water. LCSO posted a video of the arrest and the condition of the dogs to social media. Dalmatians rescued by LCSO. CREDIT: LCSO The video starts with deputies making contact with Cuomo at his home before cutting to photos of emaciated dogs. The Dalmatians reached a point of malnourishment so severe you can clearly see their skeletal structure underneath their fur.

He had his first appearance in court on Friday and remains in custody at the Lee County Jail.
