City starts investigation into alleged animal cruelty over dog rescued at Kauffman Stadium

One of the people who saved the puppy from a car in the parking lot at Kauffman Stadium on Sunday might be getting a new companion.

Michael Warner, who along with his brother Josh Lee alerted team officials to the plight of the dog in the sweltering heat, had expressed interest in adopting the puppy.

Toby Cook, the Royals vice president of publicity, said the dog went home with a seasonal worker on Sunday night after the owners didn’t claim the dog, and was going to be brought to the Kansas City animal shelter. As of Monday afternoon, the dog’s owners hadn’t contacted the Royals.
