Upon receipt of a complaint charging a violation of this article, the Village Justice shall cause to be served upon the owner or other person harboring said dog a notice that a complaint has been filed and the general nature thereof. Such notice shall state that the person upon whom it is served shall attend before the Village Justice, at a time and place which shall not be less than three days after the date of service, and that the person so served may make and sign a statement, under oath, making a general denial of the complaint or an explanation justifying the conduct of the dog.
