OSPCA searches for injured dog

The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) is appealing for help from the public after an injured dog was spotted on Toronto’s streets.

A passerby spotted the animal on Yonge Street, near Gould last Thursday Mar. 29.  The dog was with a man, possibly a panhandler, who was carrying a sign that read: “PLEASE HELP! My dog’s operation is $2,000. Thank you and God bless”.

The pedestrian shot a short video of the animal, a medium sized female white dog.

“The video of this animal shows that it’s clearly in need of medical help. The paw appears to be at an awkward angle. It’s hanging. I would venture to say that it’s some type of fracture,” said Scott Sylvia, Ontario SPCA.

The man is described as Caucasian, approximately 40 years old. He was wearing blue jeans, a grey jacket and tan leather shoes. He has short, brown hair and he was wearing glasses.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the OSPCA at 1-888-668-7722.
