A man and woman from Plymouth, N.S., are banned from having ownership, custody, care or control of animals for seven years following an incident with their dog last summer.

The Nova Scotia SPCA says 69-year-old Lorraine Bain and 73-year-old Herb Bain were charged in August 2024 for permitting an animal to be in distress under the Animal Protection Act.

On June 26, 2024, a dog in need of medical care was found by a member of the public on the side of the road and reported to the Nova Scotia SPCA.
