A man named Chris Livett suffered a complex ankle fracture after being struck by an off-leash dog in Christie Pits Park. He underwent surgery, resulting in significant financial strain and a six-week inability to work. Livett advocates for stricter enforcement of off-leash dog regulations in Toronto's parks, emphasizing the dangers associated with dogs running loose. Data reveals 2,675 complaints and 47 charges related to dog off-leash offences in the city for 2024, highlighting ongoing issues with compliance and public safety.
Dogs off leash are dangerous, as I've unfortunately had to learn myself. And I hope that people take that more seriously. It might just seem fun and innocent to go running around the park without your pets on leash, but these things have a real impact on people.
This is going to have a big financial impact on me. I won't be able to work for at least six weeks due to my injuries.
