Any person who has been injured, attacked physically, chased, or put in fear of physical harm, or whose gardens, lawns, shrubbery, or other and different property has been extensively, irreparably, or repeatedly injured or damaged by a dog or cat, may register in writing a complaint thereof with the Police Department. An adult may file such complaint on behalf of a minor child in his care or custody. Such complaint shall be in the form of a sworn affidavit and shall specify the incident complained of, the date of occurrence, a description of the dog or cat, the name and address of the owner or harborer of the dog or cat, and such other information as may reasonably be required to describe the offense complained of, and shall be signed by the person making the complaint. A form of such complaint may be prepared by the Police Department. A member of the Police Department shall sign and issue a summons, which shall be served in person to the alleged owner or harborer.
