Whenever any dog has bitten a person, it shall be the duty of the owner, keeper or
harborer of such dog, or any police officer of the county police department or any
other person having knowledge of such incident to report the same to the health officer
who may order that the dog be quarantined on the owner's premises or impounded at
the owner's expense for a period of not less than ten days, and until such time as
the health officer finds that such dog shows no evidence of having rabies. If any
law enforcement officer of the city or of the county police department or any other
person has reason to believe that a dog within the city has the symptoms of rabies,
such person shall immediately notify the health officer who in turn may order that
the dog be quarantined on the owner's premises or impounded at the owner's expense
for a period of not less than ten days or until such time as the health officer finds
that such dog shows no evidence of having rabies. If it is determined in either case
that such dog is suffering from rabies, it shall be forthwith destroyed; otherwise
it shall be released from quarantine.
