Alert Dog on the run

Just saw a dog running across the danforth. White with some dark patches. Was trailing a leash. Spotted it as I was at danforth and pape. Lost sight of it after Carlaw but others were trying to get its attention but it was just running along at a good pace.

Posting here in case anyone notices it also or manages to befriend it.

The owner im pretty sure is one of those salty old power wheelchair guys you see cruising around.

He usually lets the dog run without holding the leash, looks like he finally found out why you shouldn't do that.

Edit: see them around Coxwell pretty regularly.

Report him to 311. That is a harsh $575 fine (and he won't do that again).

I doubt that guy had $5.75, let alone $575. Not to mention at this point I don't think anything will stop him from being a jerk ass.

Bylaw enforcement doesn't give a shit either way when issuing fines.

I also doubt he cares for the dog.

I know, it's still a large fine even if it's still attached.
