A bizarre story from Canada Story Link

Following a complaint, RCMP found a woman at a motel with dogs.

Allegedly, she has a court order not to be in possession of animals.

She also matches a description of a woman suspected of stealing dogs while posing as an officer.

They're still trying to find the owners of the dogs, but at least one is a Dutch Shepherd.

Klassic Kennels was assisting in finding the owners.
