A dog, horse or any other creature that can cause or has caused harm
to a person or property if allowed to leave its owner's or keeper's
property.
An individual, partnership, voluntary association or corporation
that owns or keeps an animal.
Every animal shall be confined within the limits of its owner's
or keeper's property, except that an animal may be taken onto a street
or road when it is under its owner's or keeper's control.
No animal shall be permitted to howl, bark or otherwise make noise in
such volume and for such length of time as to disturb the peace of its owner's

peace if it has been clearly heard from a neighbor's property for a period
in excess of fifteen (15) minutes.
