On payment to the city of the amount of the license fee, the licensing authority shall issue a license to the person applying for the same, provided that all other requirements have been met, and shall provide and furnish with each license a durable tag upon which shall be stamped or engraved the registration number of the dog and the year registered. The city shall keep suitable records in which shall be recorded the date and number of such license and the name and address of the person to whom issued. Whenever the dog is allowed in a public place, every owner of a dog within the city shall place and keep around the neck of each dog owned a collar or harness to which shall be securely fastened the license tag issued by the city and to which shall also be attached a tag showing that the dog has been vaccinated for rabies. In the event that a license is lost or destroyed, a duplicate shall be issued for the current year, upon the payment of a fee for such duplicate pursuant to the fee schedule. No person shall use, for any dog, a license receipt or license tag issued for another dog. It shall be unlawful for any person to remove from the neck of any dog the license tag issued pursuant to this section without the dog owner's permission or alter such tag in any manner.
