Incredible as it may seem, the politician in charge of urban planning, Cynthia Lulham, has refused, and is continuing to refuse, to make the fences higher at the dog runs. In this nonsensical struggle over what are clearly safety issues for pets and people,, she comments that it is the owner's responsibility to prevent their dogs from jumping out. A nice idea in theory, but the reality is, even the most obedient dog can act out of accordance with its' owners' wishes on occasion.
Maybe what is really happening is that as part of the overall new arena plan the dog run will be temporarily removed - thus negating the need for higher fences - and then replaced with higher fences and better gates at some future date. Which would be great. Yahoo! And, if this is the case, why not make it public?
I'd give both of my eye teeth to get to get to spend some time in Montreal and see this fence problem for myself. I'll content myself with being your most enthusiastic blog supporter! Keep up the good work.
