Provincial police are investigating after uncooked hot dogs containing fish hooks were discovered tied to a fence at a dog park near Bracebridge.

OPP said the hot dogs were found at Kerr Park on Beaumont Drive.

Bracebridge OPP is asking for the public's help to identify the person(s) responsible.

Veterinarian Dr. Trish O'Sullivan, with the O'Sullivan Animal Hospital, said if a pet consumed a fish hook, it could quickly become life-threatening.

"Hooks can get stuck in the esophagus, and that is a very difficult area of the body to reach."

The town said its staff complete "infrastructure patrols daily, weekly and monthly" and would "cooperate with the Bracebridge OPP investigation and take these matters seriously."

Town staff said "no items of concern" were found during its inspection Monday morning.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Bracebridge OPP at (705) 645-2211.
