Toronto dog owner seeks enforcement of on-leash bylaw after puppy attacked
A Toronto woman has collected 440 signatures on a petition she started three weeks ago to get the city to enforce on-leash laws for dogs in residential areas. Sarah Hansen said she took the action after she and her husband were walking their then-seven-month-old chow chow puppy, Benjy, last September around 9 p.m. along Hazelton Ave. — where they live — towards Davenport Rd.. Hansen claims an unleashed, medium-sized black poodle was walking in front of them with a female pet owner, who lives on the same street as her, and a male friend. 'I noticed the dog stopped, looked at Benjy and started charging towards Benjy, barking aggressively and then jumped on Benjy,' said Hansen. 'He's about two to three times the size of Benjy. And when he started to jump on Benjy and tried to scratch his back, me and my husband got in between them and tried to pick up Benjy and pull Benjy towards my arms,' she said. 'At the same time, we're telling them, 'Please, get your dog away from our dog! Control the dog. Get him off our dog.' Basically we did get the dog off our dog. Benjy was howling because he was very scared.' Recommended video Benjy, who was taken to he vet, was mostly OK aside from having some anxiety and sore or sprained back paws. 'He has four layers of fur so I think that protected him from any bleeding,' said Hansen. 'He was limping a bit because (the dogs') feet got entangled together. I would say it was a level one (attack) based on this Dangerous Dog (Registry) level,' said Hansen, who added, 'they have different levels like zero to five I believe of how serious (the attack is).' Hansen said she immediately reported the attack to the city's Dangerous Dog Registry four times, although the first time she didn't have the offending dog owner's address. Hansen said this woman walks her poodle off-leash daily and she's approached her probably six more times since the attack to leash the canine, but added that request has gone nowhere. For now, she walks Benjy at other times. 'As (the petition) is growing, I've sent it to a few councillors,' said Hansen. 'The one councillor that responded to me is Dr. Dianne Saxe (in the last few days). She's an avid animal lover and she's trying to help in any way she can.' Saxe could not be reached for comment.

Where's the inflation? Not in stores
It is one of those mysteries that drive economists and politicians a little bit crazy. The Trump Administration is raising tariffs in a bid to reset world trade. Tariffs usually cause prices to rise, but, to paraphrase the late Clara Peller, where's the inflation? Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Probably it's on the way but slowly. Business works that way. You can plug a lot of numbers into a spreadsheet and get immediate answers to questions like "How much inflation?" But the reality can and will be slow in emerging. Related: Earnings season begins: Pay attention to all the tariff talk So, the Trump Administration is arguing there is no real inflation threat, and the Federal Reserve should cut interest rates. The Fed's federal funds rate is a 4.25% to 4.5%. But critics will note that tariff increases only started in April, and goods coming into the United States might take two to three weeks to make the crossing from, say, Shanghai to Los Angeles. Then, it takes time to get to the the customers' warehouse and mor time to arrive at their ultimate destination. And if the retailer guesses that tariffs would boost costs and brought inventory in before the tariffs took effect, then the prices may not reflect the added costs. Yet. So, two economic reports will test that theory this week: The Consumer Price Index report, due Tuesday, and the Producer Price Index report, due Wednesday. Both are expected to show inflation ticking up slightly in June from May, though not by much. FactSet expects consumer prices to rise 0.23% on the month and 2.6% year-over-year. Excluding food and energy, the gains are expected to be as much as 3% year-over-year. Lord knows, the government is collecting a lot of tariff revenue: $27.2 billion in June and more than $113 billion so far in the 2024-25 fiscal year. The fiscal year ends on Sept. 30. Bloomberg/Getty Images Why the delay for an effect on the CPI: Because, probably, retailers are waiting for as long as possible to boost prices. Toyota (TM) is planning to raise its prices by an average $270 per vehicle starting in July. Walmart (WMT) has already raised prices on toys and imported foods, like bananas. Economists from Bank of America expect that a rise in core goods prices will be the main driver of the acceleration of inflation in June, Morningstar's Sarah Hansen wrote in a Friday article. They cited "broad-based price hikes … owing in part to tariffs." They are also looking for an uptick in prices in the services category, including hotels and airfares, as well as in medical services. Related: Chapter 11 bankruptcy looms as major car rental company closes At the same time, the Producer Price Index report, due Wednesday, also show some acceleration of costs as well. It's an early signal of what consumer inflation might look like. To produce and deliver goods takes energy, and the price of crude oil is up nearly 20% since their April bottom. But, again, it's early in the cycle. Crude settled Friday at $68.45 per 42-gallon barrel and was up to $68.72 in Sunday evening trading.
