One dog was shot and killed after two large bull mastiff-like dogs were found running free in the Franklin Boulevard and McLaren Avenue area of Cambridge.

Police found the 35-40 kilogram dogs near 345 Franklin Boulevard around 9:00 p.m. on Nov. 24,  and shot one due to its aggressive behaviour.

Animal control attempted to capture the second dog, but was unsuccessful and it fled into a nearby wooded area.

The second dog, described as black with a white stomach and chest was found Thursday at the home of its owner.

Waterloo Regional Police are continuing to investigate the incident.
