What’s a serious bite?
Signs will be required
Dangerous dog muzzle
Beginning next March, Toronto dogs that bite a human or another pet will be designated a “dangerous dog” according to the language of a bylaw passed Wednesday. Such animals will be required to wear a muzzle. Warning signs (it’s not clear where) will be required and a dangerous dog will be banned from Toronto’s off-leash parks. Apparently any attack would have to be “severe” to have a dog declared but opponents are concerned just what that means.. Also, Georgio Mammoliti is worried the bylaw could put small dogs like Chihuahuas in the same category as other breeds. He says some owners could become repeat offenders.
