RHAWNHURST (WPVI) -- Neighbors in Philadelphia's Rhawnhurst section protested outside a home they say is the site of severe animal cruelty.

They say the dog house had its windows nailed shut and two dogs and a puppy were kept out in the cold.

Philadelphia Police responded to the home late Friday night.
