A North Saanich woman who allowed her dog to suffer with a broken jaw, pneumonia and a collapsed lung has been charged with animal cruelty.
Iris Jones faces charges under both the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and the Criminal Code because her adult pit bull, Sherbert, was declined veterinary care after sustaining blunt force trauma to her jaw and other complications.
