Dog Removed From Sudbury Home After Video of Pup Being Kicked Circulates Online
A 51-year-old man faces charges after a viral video led to police and animal welfare intervention; the dog was removed and is now in a local shelter, police said.
- On February 14, 2026, police received a report that a man was seen kicking his dog at a Bruce Avenue residence, prompting an investigation.
- Fur Warriors reposted the clip on Feb. 16, and animal-welfare pages including the Animal Hope & Wellness Foundation amplified it, while the post that shared a Bruce Avenue address led to doxxing allegations.

- A 51-year-old man has been charged with cruelty to animals under the Criminal Code of Canada, released on an undertaking barring animal care, and is scheduled for a court appearance at a later date.
