It's a bylaw. If you own a dog you need to be familiar with the bylaws affecting ownership of a dog. You also need to OBEY the bylaws......crazy I know.

I guess I just don't agree with the bylaw then. I am not saying we should stop following laws, it was just a crappy ticket to get.
Are you telling me you wouldn't be pissed if this happened to you? you are walking back to your car that is parked at a meter and you know you have about 30s left. From a distance you see a meter maid waiting at the meter for it to expire, you are 10 steps away when it expires and they start writing a ticket. They are doing their job.
What about if you start crossing the street after the hand starts flashing and you are just about to step onto the sidewalk when the light turns green. Technically you could get a ticket for that too, would you give the by-law officer a handshake and thank him for looking out for the greater good?
Yes, it is not allowed to have your dog off-leash unless it is not an off-leash area. I am not disputing that, if I did that wasn't my intention, I just think that a warning might have been sufficient in this case. I know ignorance is no excuse.
