It wasn’t that long ago that the family dog was often a free-ranging rural or suburban dweller, happily spending his days exploring his fields or neighborhood. But as the times have changed, so has the role of the dog in our North American cultures. Managing your dog when out in the world is just as important as training your dog to be a “good citizen.” Sometimes we can’t anticipate all that the world can throw at our dogs and if they behave inappropriately, it could land you in serious trouble. Your dog may even be taken away to be euthanised. But there are lots of great ways you can protect your dog with a little common sense, the right equipment, and some vigilance. We have to be prepared to defend our dog no matter what happens along the way.
Here is the article I found on the Dog Bite Law website on how to protect yourself and your dog from legal situations.
Information on dog legislation in Canada.
Information on dogs and the law in the US
A transcript of the main text of Defending Your Dog is available at the Life As A Human online magazine website. You can visit Life as a Human to find this and other articles.
