Vancouver Police have detained the man believed to be the owner of a German shepherd that died after being dumped in a Kitsilano dumpster last week, but he’s not facing any charges involving the dog’s death.
He’s been picked up involving a domestic dispute and naming him could identify the alleged victim.
Marcie Moriarty with BC’s SPCA says now that he’s in custody, police aren’t the only ones hoping to interrogate him.
“At this stage, it’s preliminary to make any conclusive statements as to who or what caused the injuries to Captain. We’re in the process of obtaining a final veterinary report.’
Moriarty says that report will determine what caused the dog’s injuries, and if a human was responsible.
