Demand for pets has skyrocketed in Ontario over the past year due to people spending more time at home than ever, but owning a pet unfortunately means there s always a chance of losing it.
If you live in Brampton and your pet goes missing, however, you ll at least have facial recognition technology on your side.
Brampton Animal Services announced Friday that it will be using the innovative technology from company Petco Love Lost to help owners locate their missing fur babies, making them one of the first Canadian shelters to do so.
TORONTO A four-year-old dog has reunited with her owner after she forcefully stolen off a Whitby Street last week. The incident, which Durham Regional Police called a street-level robbery, took place at around 11 p.m. on Dec. 30 in the area of Ash and Mary streets. At the time, a female victim was walking her two dogs and was approached by two suspects, police said earlier this week. According to investigators, the suspects took one of the two dogs and then fled the area westbound in a waiting white SUV. A female bystander witnessed the incident, police said, and attempted to assist but was sprayed in the face with an unknown substance.
