The rodent poison was in plastic bags and appears to have been thrown into the yards. One of the dogs survived the incident after medical treatment, the other died from ingesting the poison.

Police are asking pet owners to report any suspicious circumstances surrounding their pet being poisoned from items thrown in their yards and to seek immediate veterinary help.
