Hopefully at least a start.

Animal and Bylaw Services says they’re considering changing the rules for owning certain breeds of dogs, because three of five recent attacks have involved pit bulls.
The department says those and Rottweilers seem to be at the top of the list when it comes to dangerous dog incidents.
“Simply putting the onus back on the owners,” says Alvin Murray, north operations manager for Calgary Animal and Bylaw Services. “If you want to have a pit bull at home, you can, but I expect it will cost you much more for licensing, much more in the event there’s an attack like we’ve seen in the last few days.”
In the Dover incident, a 14-year-old girl was attacked while she was walking to school. She suffered injuries to both of her legs and had to be taken to hospital for treatment.
But what makes the incident even worse is the fact that witnesses say the owner did nothing to stop the attack.
Bylaw officers have said that all of these attacks have something in common – they’ve all occurred in public areas like sidewalks and not in off-leash dog parks.
