No new court date has been set for two men facing animal cruelty charges. R-C-M-P say the St. Stephen area men are facing the charges after a large dog died when it was left in a parked vehicle overnight.Police say the driver and a friend crossed over to the U-S and when they returned -- the dog had died from excessive heat and lack of food and water.
The two were scheduled to appear in St. Stephen court last Tuesday but RCMP did not receive a report which was needed the day before. The file still needs to be reviewed and approved by the Crown Prosecutor before charges can be laid in provincial court.
