SPCA, says constables were called to a home in Duncan on Feb. 16, after receiving reports of a dog in distress. "They realized not only was the dog so emaciated, but his collar was so embedded into his neck that there was this massive, massive infection," Chortyk says. SPCA said Wednesday that Anderson Joe and Melissa Tooshley of Duncan have been charged with animal cruelty in the case. This case comes just weeks after another high-profile case involving a pet pig occurred in the same area. Molly, a pot-bellied pig, was adopted from the SPCA in Duncan and wound up being killed and eaten by its owner.
