Durham police say the suspects fled the scene in a white SUV with one of the dogs.

Police say they have charged a man from Pickering, Ont., with robbery, assault with a weapon and administering a noxious thing.

They say they are still looking for the second suspect and have yet to locate the dog, a four-year-old brown and white mixed bulldog named Nina.
