Victory

Remember how I was harassed at my favorite dog park by some ignorant lady a few months back? And remember how I e-mailed the ministry regarding the dog ban?
Well this is for her.

Dear M:

Thank you for your e-mail of July 28, 2008, regarding the provisions of the Dog Owners' Liability Act (DOLA) and your ownership of a purebred Bull Terrier. Please note that nothing in this e-mail constitutes legal advice.

In your letter, you note that you own a purebred Bull Terrier (sometimes referred to as "English bull terriers"). In regard to the application of DOLA, please be advised that it is the position of the Ministry of the Attorney General that purebred Bull Terriers are not included in the definition of pit bull set out in DOLA. While there is no requirement for Bull Terrier owners to carry documentation as proof that their dogs are not pit bulls, carrying documentation may assist in interactions with animal control personnel who are not familiar with the application of DOLA to Bull Terriers.

Thank you for contacting the Ministry. We apologize for the delay in responding to you.

Policy Division
Ministry of the Attorney General
