Several concerned bystanders gave the thirsty, distressed dog cold water through a slightly open window. The driver confronted the bystanders at one point before going back into the store to continue shopping, and bystanders kept giving the dog water while he shopped.<\/p>\n<p>When the man returned to his vehicle, police say he continued to be belligerent with bystanders before striking one with his vehicle, reversing into a parked pickup truck and fleeing the area at a high rate of speed.<\/p>\n<p>Officers identified the driver and attended a residence in the Lord Roberts neighbourhood, where they found the German Shepherd tied up in the backyard and were met by the belligerent man.<\/p>\n<p>He was issued provincial offence notices under the Highway Traffic Act and Animal Care Act.<\/p>\n<p>Police noted the outside temperature that day was approximately 30\u00b0C, with a humidex of 43.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Want to see more of our stories on Google?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"July 31, 2026 11:40 AM | News A 67-year-old man has been ticketed after Winnipeg police say he&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":151241,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[10247,47,84,9891],"class_list":["post-151240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-animals","tag-crime","tag-winnipeg","tag-winnipeg-police"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=151240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151240\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
