The word OWNER, when applied to the proprietorship of a dog, shall include every person having a right to property in the dog, every person who keeps or harbors the dog or has it in his care, and every person who permits the dog to remain on or about the premises occupied by him. In all prosecutions in violation of this chapter, the records in the police department showing the name to whom any license was issued and the tag number of the license, shall be prima facie evidence of ownership of any dog wearing a tag with a similar number. In the event the owner is under the age of 17 years, responsibility for adherence to all provisions of this chapter shall fall to the parent, guardian, or head of the household of the dog owner.
