The Digby County puppy brokers were served Jan. 5 with charges relating to their sale in August 2008 of puppies that died from the fatal parvo virus within hours or days of being purchased by their new owners.
Although the SPCA received calls from additional individuals who had purchased gravely ill puppies from Gail Benoit, the current charges relate to four puppies that had autopsies performed on behalf of the Nova Scotia SPCA.
Sean Kelly said the SPCA’s investigations unit has been building the case over the past several months and CTV news footage, in which Bailey talks about puppies dying while in their care, was seized as evidence.
Kelly said the SPCA continue to investigate additional reports of sick puppies sold by Benoit and Bailey.
