Faye Kiemele wants her fellow dog-owners to be more responsible. She's not expecting to recoup the $230 it cost to get a wound in her dog's neck stitched up, and she isn't expecting an apology. But she is hoping that the owner of the dog that attacked her blue heeler, Spooky, will be kept on a leash from now on -- and that the aggressive Rottweiler-cross-looking dog doesn't turn on a small child next time. The dog grabbed Spooky Feb. 24 by the throat with its mouth and teeth. "We're trying to get the dog off, and this woman was yelling at her dog. Finally she got her off, " she said. Kiemele has filed a complaint with the Burnaby SPCA and anyone with information can call them at 604-291-7201, quoting case number 16495.
