A resident of the beach community was swimming pretty far from the shore, which was ironically in hopes to avoid all of the dogs on the beach. A pit bull who was on leash next to their owner saw the man and immediately lunged at him, breaking away from their leash and charging into the water aggressively. The dog latched onto the man's arm and actually didn't let go until a big fight on the man's part was put up. Apparently, the owner didn't seem too concerned with the attack and instead explained they were still learning how to handle the dog.

Luckily, the unfortunate swimmer was left only with a nasty wound and some antibiotics, but the beach is not taking anymore chances with any type of dogs.

The biggest concern according to the man that was attacked was that if it had been a child, or even a elderly person, there's no chance they would've been able to fight the pit bull off.

Luckily, the unfortunate swimmer was left only with a nasty wound and some antibiotics, but the beach is not taking anymore chances with any type of dogs.

The Mayor of Hudson is even going as far as to consider banning dogs in other areas of the town as well, such as the Hudson/Oka ferry. The beach officially has new signs as of yesterday evening that clearly state dogs must stay off the beach at all times, so dog owners are pretty out of luck now unless they choose to leave Fido at home during their next outing.

Keep your dog on a leash, Montreal.

Despite the bad rep, there are still a few places in and around Montreal that allow dogs on sight.

This sentence makes no sense.

"On sight?!" Like: "When seen?"

Author needs a copy-editor.

Montreal has water warm enough to swim in???

Should have just pulled the damn dog underwater. What is taught in Rescue Dive class, you have the air, let the victim give up first.

I’m still shocked that Montreal has a beach...

What if it was a Muslim dog? I mean, aside from the fact it would be dinner.

Typical libtard reaction. Instead of banning the crappy dogs, all dogs are banned.

Typical leftist thinking. One dog attack and they ban all dogs.

More Pit Bull drivel.

If a person needs a pit bull, they should be examining the person more than the dog.

Obviously, “Keep your dog on a leash, Montreal” is not a complete solution, as dogs like this one can overpower an owner to break away.

I think it should be illegal to even walk a dog if the owner can’t on the spot lift three times the dog’s weight.

Virtually every dog shelter in America is overrun with Pit Bulls. Reckless, careless breeders. Dogs seized from Meth cookers. Dog fighters. Trailer trash. Crack houses. And we, the taxpayer, are forced to pay for it. Not so much that we should insist on neuter/spay for the Pit Bulls, but rather, for their owners.

Feces in the sand is enough to keep dogs off public beaches.
