According to the Toronto Police Service (TPS), members of its 52 division spotted the two dogs in the area of Queen Street East and Bond Street last Friday. “Both dogs appeared to be in good health and were returned to their owner safe and sound,” the report states. Angela Dupuis, 36, of Toronto, was charged with “Robbery with an offensive weapon” and “Possession of property obtained by crime.” The fangs were first reported stolen earlier this month. Police say Dupuis and a man wielding a knife confronted the dog walker around 11pm on September 1st in the area of Yonge and Dundas. The man then took the two animals from the victim. It remains “still outstanding and the police continue to investigate”. Police describe him as white, 30 to 40 years old, with a medium build. The suspect was last seen wearing a black baseball cap with multiple tattoos on his body, including his neck. Anyone with more information is asked to call the detective at 416-808-5200 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477. The dogs, a Golden Brown Shih Tzu named Mari and a black Scottish Terrier named Yurield, can be seen being held by their owner in a photo shared by TPS. Unfortunately, incidents of stolen dogs are not unheard of in the city. An American Bull Dog named Bella suffered a broken shoulder blade after being hit by a car following a similar theft.
