Dog owners rallied in uptown Saint John Saturday, advocating for pitbulls. The rally comes more than two weeks after a woman was killed by her own pitbull while walking the dog in Nova Scotia.

Animal services says owners have a big role to play in shaping their pets' behaviour – and that dogs exposed to violence or criminality while they're being raised can learn from their owners.

Councillors in the Village of Chipman, N.B. say they plan on amending their bylaws to reverse a pit bull and Rottweiler ban.
