On Saturday at about 11 a.m., Ottawa police were called to the area of Wellington Street West and Holland Avenue following reports of suspicious activity involving a pickup truck. The vehicle was later located, abandoned, in an alley beside Reid Park, near Sherwood Drive, in the Civic Hospital neighbourhood.

Inside the truck’s cab, police found three calves and a dog.

Police initially suspected the calves must have been taken from the nearby Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, but they later confirmed the animals did not originate there.

It’s not yet known where the calves came from, why they were in the truck or what happened to the person who abandoned them. The Ottawa police refused to provide more information, saying its official investigation is ongoing.
