Archie Beaulieu,a Dene painter, has been charged with neglecting dozens of sled dogs at his kennel in Behchoko, N.W.T.
Many of Archie's dogs have been euthanized due to the deplorable conditions they were found in, although Archie still defines his animals as "a part of him".
Archie concludes that the lack of food, water and shelter his dogs experienced was because of an inability to financially support their care. Maybe a sign of more such cases with the state of the economy?
One hopes not...
