CKNX has heard from listeners regarding dogs being seized because they looked like banned breeds, if you would like to share your story with us, you can contact the CKNX newsroom at news.wingham@blackburnmedia.ca.
Premier Doug Ford has reportedly weighed in personally during several cases of dogs being seized in the province, including some cases in Midwestern Ontario.
Currently, Staffordshire Terriers, pit bull terriers and American pit bull terriers are named in the Dog Owners' Liability Act as banned dogs to own in Ontario.
