The Regina Police Service has put out a call for public help into an investigation of an alleged dog poisoning.
They said they first heard reports on social media that described a dog dying after ingesting rabbit poison in Wascana View Park.
Police said they then spoke to the owner of a dog that became sick on July 18, and then died on July 20. They said the dog’s owner told them a vet confirmed the presence of rabbit poison in the dog.
