Boy Riding Bicycle with Dogs on Leashes, 1928

Description

This photograph shows a young boy riding his bike and holding onto two leashes of dogs in 1928. Iowa does not have a state-wide leash law. Dogs who are running at-large and are not wearing valid rabies vaccination tags will be impounded by a local board of health or law enforcement official. In contrast, every county and city in California has a leash law. In Placer County, California, the law requires that if a dog is off its owner's property, the dog must be on a leash or in a fence or pen.
