For the purposes of this section, unless otherwise limited, the owner is ultimately responsible for the behavior of the animal regardless of whether the owner or another member of the owner’s household or a household visitor permitted the animal to engage in the behavior that is the subject of the violation.
It shall be the duty of every owner or keeper of any animal to exercise reasonable care and take all necessary steps and precautions to protect other people, property and animals from injuries or damage which might result from their animal’s behavior. If the owner or keeper of any animal is a minor, the parent or guardian of such minor shall be responsible to ensure that all provisions of this chapter are complied with.
