Toronto police are looking for a man suspected of leaving a puppy in a garbage can at a shopping centre last week.  

They say the alleged incident happened on July 11, when a man was seen on security footage walking toward a plaza, where he discarded a dark bag into a trash can.

Investigators say the man made a few stops inside the plaza, then exited through the same doors where he entered.

They say that a few moments later, a concerned citizen heard yelps coming from inside the garbage can.

Police say the bystander discovered sealed plastic bags that he ripped open to find a three-month-old puppy.

They say the puppy was immediately taken to a nearby vet.

Investigators are asking anyone with information to come forward.
