A dog that chases, worries, injures or kills a person, sheep, lamb, goat, kid, domestic fowl or domestic animal, except a cat or another dog, can be killed at any time or place. If, in attempting to kill such a dog running at large, a person wounds such dog, he is not liable to prosecution under the penal laws which punish cruelty to animals. The owner, keeper or harborer of such dog shall be liable for any damage or injuries caused by such dog unless such damage or injury was to the body or property of a person who, at the time such damage or injuries were sustained, was committing a trespass on the property of the owner, keeper or harborer, or was teasing, tormenting or abusing such dog on the owner, keeper or haborer’s property.
