For Karen Lloyd and her dog, it was a normal day in the Allan Gardens park; fresh grass, a cold chill, and her dog, going to the toilet. Being responsible, she crouc
hed down to pik up her dog's deposit, only to find at least 50 crushed pills scattered around the entire park. Today, police are investigating the death of a dog in it's own backyard, surronded by the same crushed pills. Going through the rest of the neighbourhood, several backyards had their own deposit of the crushed pills that Karen and the deceased dog has encountered. The kind of medication is currently unknown, but the meaning of the pills isn't; some believe the pills are not a definitive cause of death, but all are sure that there is a dog murderer on the loose. Police are guessing that the motive would be the barking and noise from the dogs in the Sixth Street/Lake Shore West Area, where the killer lives. This is actually not the first time someone has gone homicidal on man's best friend, as in High Park in 2008, two dogs died and many got very sick, after digesting intentionally planted bread that had been heavily soaked in antifreeze. Hopefully, before another victim is found, we can discover what kind of medication it was, and if it was prescription, track it to the killer.

As a dog owner, I was pretty horrified that anybody would want to kill a dog, and a little scared for my pets (irrationally, though, I don't live near the Newer Toronto Area). I definitely think that the perpertrator is totally insane to go and murder dogs for the sole purpose of their own silence. I would suggest people look after their dogs with caution for the next while, and maybe bring their dog on a leash to your frontl awn for the next few weeks. If you would like to read the article, here is one of many of the publications on the topic.
