[CC 1997 §4-5]
It shall be unlawful for any person or persons owning, controlling, keeping, possessing or having the management or care, in whole or in part, of any dog to permit such dog to run at large or go off the premises of the owner or the keeper thereof, or to be upon any street, or other public place within the corporate limits of the City of Branson West at any time, day or night, unless such dog is in the custody and charge of some responsible person and is securely tied or lead by a line or leash so as to effectively prevent such dog from biting, molesting, being with or approaching any person or animal. All dogs found to be running at large in violation of these regulations may be taken up and impounded.
