Former UFC middleweight champion Frank Shamrock admitted he left his mother's dog at Dallas Love Field Airport for five days after being unable to find someone to adopt the animal.
On Thursday, Rebecca Lopez of WFAA reported Dallas police are investigating Shamrock for animal cruelty after he tied the dog to a truck with food and water before boarding a plane to California.
"They can charge me with whatever. I will show up. It is what it is. I'm not hiding in any way," Shamrock said. "It's an unfortunate and terrible thing. I'm an animal lover and I ran away crying.
