No dog shall be permitted to run at large in the village, except upon the premises of the owner of such dog, or upon other premises by authority of the owner or occupant of such premises; provided, however, that, the area in which the dog is permitted to run at large must be totally enclosed by a fence of an adequate height to prevent the dog from escaping from the enclosed area, or the dog must be restrained by a secure collar and leash or chain which must be attached to a run line or to an anchor, so that the dog may not move beyond the premises or the dog must be in the actual charge, custody or control of some responsible person. Any dog taken outside of such an enclosed yard shall be equipped with a secure collar and restrained upon a secure leash of not more than six feet in length. Where a dog has been found to be a dangerous or vicious animal, the provisions of this code which apply to such animals shall be applicable.
