South Bayview is a wonderfully safe street but the “removal”of a dog from outside a City Loblaws should give dog owners pause. The owner tied up her Shih Tzu Maltese at a St. Clair Ave. West supermarket and went inside to shop. Security cameras caught a man who stopped to pet the dog, then picked it up and walked away. The dog has since been recovered after someomne phoned in a tip about a noisy dog. It’s a lot of heartache to lose a dog but they are expensive to replace as well. Many shops permit dogs but those selling and serving food do not. One or two other shops also forbid dogs although most dry goods stores are okay with the dog on a leash..
