LIHU'E, Kaua'i ? A Makaweli man convicted of abandoning five dogs to parasites and starvation after he moved out of his home will spend 40 days in jail and 300 hours of community service at the Kaua'i Humane Society.

Al Kanahele pleaded no contest to three petty misdemeanor counts of animal desertion and two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and was sentenced Friday. Humane society and prosecutors said they believe it was the first successful prosecution of an animal desertion case in Hawai'i.
