Well that is interesting and a step forward. I wonder how many firms are doing this? If this is an honour system of self reporting I imagine lot's people that would not declare a dog. This would be where the fine and charges need to kick in if there is an issue.

This is in South East Calgary. Little kids everywhere including my own. If that pack mentality kicks in with dogs free to leave their yard at will, imagine what could happen to a 3 year old like mine. I don't understand how some people's mind work.
