The By-Law Office has received a complaint from a concerned citizen that young children are walking their dog without a leash and are encouraging their dog to attack other dogs that are securely tied up. This type of behaviour is NOT tolerated; all dogs must be on a leash while being walked. Additionally, all dogs should be securely tied up when outside, with proper shelter, food, and water readily available.

Sagamok's By-Law for the Regulation of Dogs:
