A hearing will resume Wednesday to determine if a man accused of abusing animals should have to pay for their care.

In court Tuesday, prosecutors went through graphic details of injuries found on four dogs that were seized from 39-year-old Jeremy Franks. Prosecutors said Franks would bite one of his dogs as a form of obedience training.

Humane Society officials found one dog had BB’s from a pellet gun lodged under another its skin and one of Franks’ puppies was found to have a fractured paw and rib.

The Nebraska Humane Society began caring for the dogs in July after they were seized from Franks’ home. His criminal trial for animal abuse is set to begin on the 13th.
