When authorities seized 33 Boston Terriers from a Kingston, Ont., home last November, the dogs were in distress and the smell of urine was so powerful it made an inspector’s eyes burn.

In the owner’s appeal of the seizure, Animal Welfare Services Inspector Christina Haaima told Ontario’s Animal Care Review Board she visited Joshua LaPointe’s home on Oct. 10, 2024.

High ammonia levels in the attic where the dogs were living made an inspector's eyes, nose and throat burn, and made it difficult to breath.
