Any dog or animal, when off the premises of the person possessing the same, shall be tethered or leashed and under the full and immediate control of the person possessing or in charge thereof.
The person who so curbs such dog shall immediately remove, in a sanitary method, all feces deposited by such dog; provided, however, that the disposal of said feces by the depositing thereof in storm sewers within the Village shall not be deemed to be a sanitary method of disposal of such feces.
