SUFFOLK – A woman was convicted of animal cruelty and is banned from owning animals again, according to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

13News first reported on the case in mid-February.

A harness was put on the pup and, as he grew, the harness wasn't removed, PETA said.

PETA says it got the dog in mid-December so the harness could be surgically removed.

Now named Buxton, the pup continues to recover after being adopted by a Hampton couple.
