(A) It shall be unlawful for any person to keep or harbor any dog which constitutes a nuisance, and such nuisance is hereby declared to be a public nuisance, and each day during which such nuisance shall continue unabated, shall constitute a separate offense.
(B) For the purposes of discharging the duties imposed by this subchapter and to enforce its provisions, the dog officer, or any police officer, is empowered to investigate any complaint and, if warranted, to enter upon any premises, not to include the dwelling unit of the owner, upon which a dog is kept or harbored and to demand the exhibition by the owner of such dog of the license for such dog. It is further provided that the dog officer or, in his absence, any other police officer, may enter the premises where any animal is kept in a cruel and inhumane manner and demand to examine such animal and to take possession of such animal when, in his opinion, it requires humane treatment.
