He posted an announcement seeking its owner on his Facebook page, which has gone viral, he explained that the dog was docile when he approached to check for wounds. There were no physical injuries and a bowl was found nearby. He suspected that this is not a common stray dog as the dog got into his car without signs of wariness or resistance. He told CityNews that the decision to collect the dog was the fear that the dog will be harmed as it was getting dark, plus, the spot was isolated with no food or water nearby.
