STRATHMORE, Alta. – Alberta RCMP have laid charges against a man and a woman after a critically injured dog was found tied to a car last month.
RCMP say the dog, believed to be a border collie cross, had injuries consistent with having been dragged and had to be euthanized.
Melinda Harris, who is 40 from Calgary, has been charged with causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.
