Story out of Montreal, Quebec:
A Montreal man accused of ordering his pit bull to attack his wife has been freed on bail.
Mark Léonard, 54, was charged Tuesday with assault and assault causing bodily harm after he allegedly ordered his pit bull to attack his 47-year-old wife last weekend.
In the latest incident, the couple were arguing Sunday around 10 p.m. ET, on Randall Avenue in the city's Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighbourhood, when the man ordered the dog to attack, said Montreal police Const. Jean-Pierre Brabant.
The woman was bitten on the arm and treated at the scene by Urgences Santé. Brabant said she refused to be taken to hospital.
On Tuesday evening, City of Montreal officials went to the home to seize the dog. But Brabant said the woman refused to hand the animal over to them.
Brabant said she asked that the charges be dropped, but prosecutors intend to go ahead with them, so police will have to get a warrant to seize the dog. Cont.
