Victoria Shroff, K.C., who specializes in animal law, said if the attacking dog’s owner is located they could face a variety of serious consequences.“They could be facing fines, they could be facing an aggressive dog designation, potential destruction for their dog through an application in the courts,” Shroff said.Failure to abide by the city’s leash bylaw could result in fines of between $250 and $10,000.
