Orillia OPP say they’re investigating an altercation that began after two dogs were left in a vehicle on Wednesday evening.
Shortly before 6 p.m., a couple spotted two dogs in a car at a Front Street North business, officers say.
The couple approached the vehicle and waited for a period of time before removing the dogs and putting them into an air-conditioned car, police add. It’s unclear exactly how long the dogs were left in the vehicle.

The dogs’ owners left the area with their dogs before police attended the scene to investigate the incident.

Orillia OPP Const. Martin Hill told Global News that responding officers spoke to the concerned citizens at the scene.
The next step, Hill added, is speaking with the dogs’ owners to hear their side of the story and to see if there are any witnesses who can verify either side of the story.
“Then (officers) determine the next course of action from there,” Hill said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Orillia OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
