At 11:51 am on February 12, 2025, in the 6500 block of Aulds road in Nanaimo, a witness called police after watching a male beating a small brown dog. Witnesses saw him pick up the dog and toss it like a football
across the road, put the dog into a black shopping bag and then punch the bag several times.
When they confronted the male he began threatening them so they stepped away and called Animal Control and 911.
Animal Control and police were on scene within minutes but were unable to locate the male or the dog.
The male is described as Caucasian, thin, wearing a black puffy jacket with a wide gray fur rim hood, brown boots and jeans. The dog is a small, brown dog which may resemble a Chihuahua.
