It shall be unlawful for any person to keep or harbor any dog which bites any person while not on the property of the dog’s owner, and where the bite was not provoked by the person so bit. Such dog may be seized and impounded for the protection of the public. The Municipal Court or other court of competent jurisdiction may order the dog destroyed if the court finds that such dog represents a continuing threat of serious harm to any persons. [Ord. 149 § 14, 1997.]
