The OPP are trying to retrieve a golden retriever in Ancaster. The five-year old dog named Simba was taken almost a month ago from a family event in Tottenham, which is near Orangeville.

Police say a woman asked to walk the dog, then took off. They say she’s refused to return Simba, claiming she lost the dog. But police suspect the dog is in the Ancaster area.

50-year old Wendy Lewis of Ancaster has been charged with theft under $5000.
