The applicants sought judicial review of a decision by the Toronto Animal Services Manager to destroy their dog under the Animals for Research Act.
The Manager determined that the dog was a restricted pit bull under the Dog Owners Liability Act, had attacked another dog and a person, and was a menace.
The Divisional Court held that the standard of review was reasonableness and found the Manager's decision reasonable based on licensing records, veterinary certificates, and the dog's physical characteristics.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
