An elderly man watched in horror Wednesday morning as his dog was mauled to death by a pack of larger canines at a north Etobicoke park.

Toronto Animal Services tells CityNews that at approximately 11 a.m. Wednesday morning, a 14-year-old dachshund was mauled by four other dogs at Centennial Park, near the indoor soccer field – arena complex.

A spokesperson says the four dogs and the person walking them did not remain on the scene following the attack.

Circumstances surrounding the attack are still unknown. Signs posted around the park clearly state dogs are to be kept on leash.

“We do have a picture that a witness had taken at the time of the incident which we are following up on with police,” said Animal Services spokesperson

Elizabeth Glibbery.

Anyone with information is asked to call Toronto Animal Services.
