Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says the safety of kids comes first and foremost so he won’t support allowing dogs to run free in parks outside fenced-in, off-leash zones.
He says dogs sometimes have a mind of their own.
Ford’s comments come the same day councillors on the parks committee commissioned a study of off-leash dog hours.
Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong who has been pushing the idea says off-leash areas will result in healthier dogs that are less aggressive and don’t bite.
The report on off-leash zones is due back in June 2013.
