Imagine a city where new rules are being made for dog owners.
These rules are to keep everyone safe after a sad event.
Owners are now fully responsible for their dogs' actions.
When walking their dogs, they must use a leash.
If a dog is considered dangerous, it must also wear a muzzle, and the owner should carry a stick.
Owners must clean up after their dogs in public.
Also, the city won't be responsible for dog-related incidents.
Dogs also need proper space, food, and medical care.

Dogs must be leashed outdoors; ferocious dogs must be muzzled.
