Syllabus

<p>Animal. Negligence. Notice.—The owner of a domestic animal is not liable for injuries caused by it, unless the animal is fierce or ferocious and the knowledge that it is so, is brought home to him. Notice of the character of the animal may be either actual or constructive, the latter existing where the facts and circumstances are brought to the knowledge of the owner tending to show that the animal is a dangerous one.</p>
