LETTERS: Is dog licensing enforced?

Dear Editor In regards to the dog licence article in the Nov. 25 paper, I occasionally walk my mother’s dog when she goes away on vacation. As I walk my neighbourhood and at an off-leash park near my home, I speak to many people walking their dogs.

Dear Editor

In regards to the dog licence article in the Nov. 25 paper, I occasionally walk my mother’s dog when she goes away on vacation.

As I walk my neighbourhood and at an off-leash park near my home, I speak to many people walking their dogs. I’ve come to notice that almost none of these individuals I speak to have dog licences. A dog licence appears to be a dog tax only to those whom choose to be a responsible citizen and pay for one on their own accord. Does Burnaby even enforce dog licences?

I’m curious as to how many dogs the City of Burnaby has licensed and how that compares to the surrounding municipalities?
