On Oct. 29 2015, Mitchell’s East Vancouver home was<wm> startled by exploding firecrackers and witnessed its dog startled and run out of the house during a loud noise, he claims.
“Any dog that can be easily scared of the sudden loud noise should have been kept at least at least three feet away. Allowing one out and exposing its well-being to that frightening situation by putting itself at greater risk of accidents such an event could lead to dog owner facing legal consequences.”, he wrote to the city today. 
He suggests some adjustments be made. The</wm> new bylaws should include the following:
1\. Increase the required distance from a window or screen door
