**--GOLDEN, Colo. -- A woman accused of tying up her dog and setting him on top of a stove had her arraignment continued today in Jefferson County.

Tanya Martin, 38, appeared in court Monday morning and her arraignment continued to Feb. 17 at 8 a.m.

Prosecutors say in October, Martin put her 6-year-old Yorkshire terrier on top of a telephone book on a lit stove burner.

When officers arrived, they found the terrier laying on his back on top of the burning telephone book, his legs tied down with speaker wire.

The terrier, named Bobo, suffered second- and third-degree burns to 50 percent of his body and died a few days later.

Martin has been charged with animal cruelty and arson.

Martin's uncle, Leo Cordova, says she suffers from mental illness.
