Canada: Dog dragged by car for nearly a kilometre
Two suspects Cassandra McKay, 42, and Gary Dewilde, 47, both of Fort Erie, Ont. had been charged by the police with dragging a dog by a car for nearly a kilometre in Welland, Ont.
The dog who, according to the police suffered traumatic injuries, was rushed to a nearby veterinarian and was expected to recover.
Canadian Press reported that according to the investigators the dog's leash had been attached to the passenger side door.
The leash broke just before the car collided with another vehicle.
Several witnesses had tried to alert the occupants of the car to what was happening, but there was no response.
Police said McKay and Dewilde had been charged with causing unnecessary suffering to a dog and causing injury by deliberate neglect to a dog.
The two suspects would appear in court March, 29 to face the allegations.
