In any case when the Animal Control Officer has verified a report that a dog has bitten a human being, he or she may take possession of the dog and place it in the city-county pound or may board the dog with a licensed veterinarian if requested to do so by the owner of the dog, for the period necessary to determine if the dog is infected with rabies. The cost of impoundment shall be borne by the owner of the dog.
