Langley City needs to relax enforcement of dog leashing bylaw

Kevin Steele should not get a ticket for a dog who helps him to get around.

Editor: We have seen Kevin Steele and Ed several times. For a City bylaw officer to issue a ticket and threaten more to come is a sin to me and other City taxpayers.

How many times have I seen two bylaw officers just strolling on City streets, enjoying the sun?

I am positive this man’s dog Ed is important as a coping mechanism for him. This man should be exempt from tickets.

Outgoing Mayor Peter Fassbinder, as a last gift, can give him and his dog the relaxation of a foolish law, in this case.

We take our dog daily to Langley Lodge. It helps to cheer up those old folks.

They love him and it’s good for them. Our little friendly 20-pound dog offers no threat to anyone.

Would anyone like to see Steele trip and fall? Has he not had enough grief in his life?

Relax the laws in this case, and I hope all City taxpayers will let city hall know some laws can be stretched.

I would like to see this officer have a little compassion in this case.

I use a scooter, and to tie an animal to a scooter is a danger, as it is possible to run into it.
