§ 113. Change of ownership; lost or stolen dog. 1. In the event of a change in the ownership of any dog which has been assigned an official identification number or in the address of the owner of record of any such dog, the owner of record shall, within ten days of such change, file with the commissioner a written report of such change. Such owner of record shall be liable for any violation of this article until such filing is made or until the dog is licensed in the name of the new owner. 2. If any dog which has been assigned an official identification number is lost or stolen, the owner of record shall, within ten days of the discovery of such loss or theft file with the commissioner a written report of such loss or theft. In the case of a loss or theft, the owner of record of any such dog shall not be liable for any violation of this article committed after such report is filed. 3. In the case of a dog's death, the owner of record shall so notify the commissioner either prior to renewal of licensure or upon the time of such renewal as set forth in subdivision one of section one hundred nine of this chapter. Until such time that the commissioner files such information with the central registry of official identification numbers, said number shall not be reassigned. Failure to notify the commissioner of the death of a dog as so required herein shall constitute a violation and the owner of record shall be held liable.
