Usually when officials come across animal hoarding cases, the scenes are ugly. Animals are neglected or abused and many have to be put down because they're just too sick. 


That's why this latest case out in the Cabazon area of Riverside County is so different. Animal control officials found 72 dogs inside an elderly woman's home. Here's the thing though---there's no cruelty investigation because the dogs were all well-fed and taken care of for the most part. They did have to be taken away though. John Welsh is with Riverside County Animal Services.
