Whenever any dog bites a person, the owner of said dog shall immediately notify the Police Department, who shall order the dog held in a licensed kennel for a period of ten days at the owner's expense. The dog shall be examined immediately after it has bitten anyone and again at the end of the ten-day period. If at the end of ten days a licensed veterinarian is convinced that the dog is then free from rabies, the dog shall be released from quarantine or from the pound as the case may be. If the dog dies in the meanwhile, its head shall be sent to the State Department of Health for examination for rabies.
