Toronto police are, again having to deal with a dog being locked inside of a vehicle while its owner was inside a shopping mall.

Newstalk1010 has obtained an exclusive photo that shows police speaking to a dog owner, after the dog was let out of the vehicle.

It isn't known yet how long the dog was in the car, or whether charges  are being laid against the owner.

Last month, a dog died after it was left in the back of a vehicle at Vaughan Mills Shopping Centre while its owners were inside shopping.
