    Any dog that habitually worries, chases, or molests teams 
 or persons traveling peaceably on the public road is a public

 judge containing a description of the dog, including the name of 
 the dog and its owner, or stating that the name or names are not 
 known, and alleging that the dog is a public nuisance, the judge 
 shall issue a summons, if the owner is known, commanding the 
 owner to appear before the judge at a specified time, not less 
 than six nor more than ten days from the date of the summons, to 
 answer the complaint.  The summons shall be served not less than 
 six days before the day of the hearing in the same manner as 
 other district court summonses.
