New Quebec dog law is in force
A new provincial dog law is now in force, but there doesn’t seem to be much to it. “Local officials could choose to enforce strict regulations or do nothing at all in event of an attack” is the summary on CTV, which also gives a link to a PDF list of the city’s dangerous dog list, a faintly comic listing of a hundred dangerous animals with names ranging from Bambam to Einstein.
CBC specifies a few more rules, notably the requirement to report bites, both of people, and of other dogs brought to the vet’s over a bite.

I’ll make a point of keeping an eye out for “Fatty” any time I’m in CdN-NDG

I’m curious about Chico, the potentially dangerous chihuahua in Saint-Léonard.

Interesting that some neighbourhoods are more represented than others. I wonder if that’s proportional to the population of the area or if there are other factors.

TIL bulldog is Bouledogue in French.
I find it interesting that in more working class neighbourhoods there are far fewer listings, like people know better than to rat their neighbours out to the cops over their pets. I have friend that lives in the Point, her dog has been attacked by other other dogs 3 times. She didn’t call the cops. They didn’t call the cops. One time her dog got attacked by a little off-leash terrier, and that little terrier got shaken like a rat and died. No blood. The terrier’s owner was a gentrifier, called the cops in tears, full report were done by the cops, animal control, and an assessment was carried out on the dog because it bit. In the end everyone agreed the dog was not at fault, so did not have to be put down, but needs to wear a muzzle. Because some yuppie didn’t know how to control her own dog then went and called the cops.
