If the dog's name is Dino, is owned by your next door neighbor and it is really a dinosaur, then you are cool in most states. The idlea only applies in New Jersey. Violation of the idlea most certainly will result in death to the owner, person in charge and the pet. Call Fred before you get to Jersey. I'm sure he can help you out of this rubble. Good luck BamBam. When charm and intelligence fail there is always the tire billy. Bam Bam!
