A Dartmouth, N.S., real estate agent has been fined $2,500 and had her professional licence suspended for a month after taking a man s dog and failing to return the pet.
Mike Smaggus said real estate agent Sarah Sullivan took his bichon frise, Snoopy, under the pretense of dog-sitting for a night last spring, but instead rehomed the animal. This conduct is dishonourable, unprofessional, harmful to the best interests of the public and to the reputation of the industry at large, the Nova Scotia Real Estate Commission said in its decision.
