That's amazing! I wouldn't have guessed that in 1909 any local government had "evolved" to the point where they were licensing dogs...

well the dog is probably not fit for the tag anymore either.

Hi Folks; Yes they actually started registering dogs prior to the Civil War for hunting purposes then it became "fashionable" to do it everywhere. PEACE:RONB
