Long Island Woman Charged After Vets Find Rocks in Starving Dog's Stomach: SPCA

Space-age towers, topped by flying-saucer-like platforms, and a pavilion of pillars once called the “Tent of Tomorrow,” looms as relics remaining from the 1964 World’s Fair, on Tuesday April 1, 2014 in the Queens borough of New York. As this month’s 50th anniversary of the 1964 New York World’s Fair approaches, a group of preservationists is fighting to save the pavilion, but others see them as annoying eyesores that should be torn down. Neither option would come cheap: an estimated $14 million for demolition and up to $72 million for renovation. (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)

A Long Island woman was arrested after vets found rocks in her emaciated pit bull's stomach, authorities say. 

Madison Cammarata of East Patchogue faces misdemeanor animal cruelty charges after the 7-year-old dog, named Duncan, was brought to the Guardians of Rescue shelterin May, according to the Suffolk County SPCA. 

Veterinarians discovered that Duncan had the stones in his belly and euthanized him because of his poor prognosis. 

Cammarata, 22, was arrested Sunday. She's due back in court in September. 

It's unclear whether Cammarata has a lawyer who can comment on the allegation. There was no immediate response to a message left Monday at a possible phone number for her.
