Any person who owns, harbors and keeps, or is in possession
or control of any dog within, or which frequents, the Borough shall
not permit such dog to be unattended within the Borough. Any such
person shall require said dog to be restrained by a leash or other
appropriate device of control so that it cannot stray beyond the premises
on which it is secured, or under reasonable control of some person,
which for the purpose of this article shall be "curbing." Such curbing
shall be permitted only on public streets, public grounds and on private
property with the express permission of the owner of such property.
Any person who curbs such a dog shall immediately remove all
feces deposited by such dog by any sanitary method and same shall
be deposited in the owner's garbage or disposed of in some other
sanitary method. The deposit shall be properly wrapped, packaged or
protected so as to prevent unsightly disposal, smell or interference
with the health and welfare of the community.
