RCMP investigating serious injury of dog thrown into fire in Manitoba community
WINNIPEG — Mounties in northern Manitoba have opened an investigation into the case of a dog badly burned after being thrown into a firepit.
Katie Powell, president and founder of Save a Dog Network Canada, said two kids between 10 and 12 years old took a family’s dog off a porch on Sunday and tossed him into a firepit on the Red Sucker Lake First Nation.
The eight-month-old dog, a lab mix named Polo, is recovering at a veterinarian clinic in Winnipeg.
RCMP spokeswoman Tara Seel says no one called to report the incident, but urges anyone with information to call police.
