A Toronto man is facing charges after his four dogs allegedly attacked and killed a dachshund last week in Etobicoke's Centennial Park.

Toronto police say a 81-year-old man was walking his dog, "Dacky," in the park on March 9 when he came across another man walking four large dogs without a leash.

Police say the four dogs attacked the 14-year-old dachshund, which only weighed 6.8 kilograms, killing the animal. Following the alleged attack, the man retrieved his dogs and walked off, according to police.

The 46-year-old man was arrested Tuesday and charged with mischief and interfering with lawful enjoyment of property.

Officers from Toronto Animal Services executed a warrant and seized five dogs from the man, according to authorities.
