(a) No person shall own, keep or harbor any dog known by him to be vicious, dangerous or in the habit of biting or attacking persons, whether or not such dog wears a tag or muzzle, and upon satisfactory proof that such dog is vicious, dangerous or in the habit of biting or attacking persons, the Town may cause such dog to be impounded and disposed of in the most humane manner.
(b) Any dog, whether licensed or not, which bites any person shall be taken by its owner or custodian forthwith to a veterinarian for confinement and observation or shall be securely confined on the premises of its owner or custodian, and in either case the owner or custodian shall forthwith notify the health officer of the County.
(c) Whenever it shall be made to appear to the Mayor or Council that there are good reasons for believing that any dog within the Town is mad, the Mayor may issue a proclamation requiring that all dogs shall, for a period to be defined in the proclamation, wear good substantial muzzles, securely put on, so as to prevent them from biting or snapping, and any dog at large without such muzzle during the period defined by the Mayor shall be impounded.
