Trashcan Puppies
In episode 207, Special Investigator Paul Romano and Special Agent Joe Pentangelo traveled to Brooklyn where they responded to a complaint that someone had thrown two live puppies in the garbage. The couple that rescued the puppies told the agents that their neighbor was to blame.

When the agents questioned the owner she informed them that she placed the dogs in the garbage because their mother would not feed them. The agents went back to the garbage and found eleven more puppies. All of them were taken to the Bergh Hospital back at the ASPCA. In the end, the owner and another person at the home were arrested for animal cruelty and only two of the puppies survived. What happened to the remaining two?
