As I said before it is a bylaw here to have a dog on leash. How is this enforced? That is the problem. Get on the cell phone and call the bylaw officer? Call the pound?

Our mailmen have twice been run at by the same dog in the neighborhood. A couple of years ago the dog escaped from the back yard. Dog was run over and leg had to be amputated. The three legged dog lived a couple more years- it went to the off leash area which is adjacent to the mostly frozen river. Recently the dog was supervised but went on the river ice only to fall through the thin ice. It drowned and was never to be seen again...

It is mostly the owners who should get the blame. Obedience lessons and a leash.
As I said it was many year before I put my dog on the leash all the time outside the house.
Fortunately I was never sued for my dog knocking people over. I consider myself lucky. In a way I don't miss having a dog.
