(A) The Town Marshal is authorized to seize any dog(s) running at large or any dog(s) suspected of having rabies, take the same to any kennel operated by a licensed doctor of veterinary medicine, and have such dogs confined until either:
(1) Until the dogs owner pays the cost of confinement, if the dog(s) is not suspected of having rabies; or
(2) If the dog(s) is suspected of having rabies, the veterinarian shall make such tests as are necessary to determine if the dog(s) has rabies, and if so, it shall be destroyed. If not, the owner may reclaim it by paying all costs and charges of the veterinarian. If the dog(s) has rabies and the dog(s) is destroyed, the owner of the dog(s) shall be liable thereof and pay the costs incurred including medical bills for persons bitten or scratched by such dog(s). If the owner does not pay, the town shall proceed to collect the same from such owner as any civil debt.
