KEY POINTS:
Two dogs found buried at a home belonging to rapper DMX had serious wounds, authorities investigating animal neglect allegations said. One of the dogs had serious bite wounds and another had trauma to its abdomen, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said yesterday.
The remains were dug up on August 24, when sheriff's investigators probing allegations of animal neglect raided the rapper's home in north Phoenix.
A lawyer for the 36-year-old rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, has said DMX was not at the home during the raid, had not been there for months and was paying caretakers and veterinarians to care for his animals.
