I must live in a different part of west fernie. I have only noticed one or two dogs roaming in my neighbourhood. I know that my 13 year old poodle is not going to hurt anyone by being off leash and my other dogs are fenced in with the exception of a 12 year old border collie who is our houdini and manages to escape regularly. I agree that there must be a roaming dog problem because I keep hearing about it, but I have yet to see it.
As for the mean black dog, I would suggest you talk to its owner and let them know you don’t feel safe with it wandering. Definately give the police a call if you need to, that is just not right. Perhaps these owners will learn a very sad lesson when their pets get killed by a car when wandering toward the highway.
