19. The municipality responsible shall have a recourse for the reimbursement of the indemnities and valuation and arbitration costs which it has been called upon to pay pursuant to this Act, as the result of damage caused by a dog, against any person civilly responsible for compensating victims for such damage.
Where damage is caused by a dog kept outside the territory of the municipality, the same recourse may be had against the local municipality in whose territory such dog is kept, saving the local municipality’s right to exercise the recourse hereinabove provided for.
