Every owner shall be required to provide each dog, not <br />kept in a kennel or otherwise exempted, with a collar to which the <br />license tag must be permanently affixed and shall see that the <br />collar and tag are continuously worn by said dog. In case a dog <br />license tag is lost or destroyed, a duplicate will be issued by the <br />finance department upon presentation of the receipt showing payment <br />of the license fee for the current license period and upon payment <br />of the fee fixed for the issuance of such duplicate tag. No owner <br />shall transfer any dog tag from one dog to another and no person <br />shall place a dog tag upon any dog except the dog for which it was <br />issued. <br /> <br />12 <br />
