553. Every local corporation may make, amend or repeal by-laws to order dogs to be kept muzzled or tied up; to prevent them from being at large without their masters or other persons to take charge of them; to impose a tax on the owner of every dog kept in the municipality; to authorize any officer appointed for such purpose to destroy any unmuzzled dog at large and considered dangerous by such officer.
The fine imposed for the contravention of any by-law made under this article may be recovered, except insofar as respects the tax, from persons residing outside the municipality, whose dogs are found in contravention of such by-law.
