The Law

This hyper-specific local ordinance was likely established to prevent neighbors from accidentally poisoning or tampering with someone else's prize hunting or working dog. In the past, disputes between neighbors sometimes escalated into harming livestock and pets. Today, it just means you should probably ask for permission before playing bartender to a thirsty golden retriever.
