FORWARD TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Human officers raided a home in Forward Township Thursday.
Officers say they responded after neighbors complained of the stench coming from the residence on Mentor Road.
When they arrived on the scene, they found an animal house -- but this one had a twist.
Officers found dozens of dogs, cats, ferrets, birds living in deplorable conditions.
But they also found something else.
One of the people who lived in the residence was Jim Willis, author of inspirational animal books, such as "Pieces of My Heart -- Writings Inspired By Animals and Nature," "The Animals' Savior," and "The Basset Chronicles."
The owner of the home, Erin Schmidt, has been charged with running an illegal kennel on the property.
Animals found in the home were taken to Animal Friends.
