A Calgary man faces animal abuse charges and has seen two dogs removed from his care.
Police were first called about a man "actively abusing a dog" during a walk through the Inglewood neighbourhood Tuesday evening.
"A witness confronted the suspect about his behaviour towards the animal during a verbal interaction, and the suspect is believed to have threatened the witness during the exchange," Calgary Police Service said in a news release Saturday.
Officers that day couldn't find the man.
A tip two days later helped them identify him.
Working with the Calgary Humane Society, CPS learned the dog seen in Inglewood is Amber, owned by the Alberta Rescue Foundation (ARF), and was being fostered by the man.
The dog was removed from the man's home and examined. It had injuries "consistent with abuse."
