Toronto dogs in danger

Investigators confirmed on Tuesday that two dogs died and four others being cared for after some sicko deliberately spread poison throughout High Park, in Toronto, Canada.

A bread mix was created and a toxic liquid was poured over it, sad Det. Suzanne Pinto.

"It was designed for the exact purpose to lure animals," she said.

Additionally, six dogs and several racoons became sick after drinking water laced with antifreeze.

One raccoon's body was actually posed holding a bouquet of flowers and while a second was discovered holding a dead squirrel.

"The same person would have had access to the raccoons the moment they died," Pinto said. "Who knows maybe they were testing the poison on the raccoons.

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty said whoever was responsible was a "sick individual."

"My hope is that whichever sick individual or individuals are doing this are quickly caught by police and dealt with severely," he said. "This is very difficult for families to cope with. There's something fundamentally wrong with our society if you can't take your family pet for a walk in a public park and not be concerned that it will somehow be endangering your pet."

It's a scary reminder that no matter where you may be, please keep a close watch of what your dog may be getting into.
