An Island couple has received a one-thousand dollar fine and must pay nearly three-thousand dollars in costs to the humane society, after a dog was seized in horrendous condition.
Christopher Wayne Gallant and Christian Gauthier pleaded guilty to wilfully causing a companion animal unnecessary pain, suffering or injury.
The dog, a Lab-Rottweiler mix named Nicholas, was taken from the couple’s Crapaud residence on April 11th.
Court was told the dog had open wounds on its right shoulder and had to be carried to a van because it was unable to walk.
