Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The mandate to confine a dog is ... stated absolutely and not in terms of reasonable care, which standard ... would involve difficulties in ascertaining culpability and thus frustrate the legislative intent behind [§] 305(a)(1). Had the legislature intended [§] 305(a)(1) to condition culpability on the failure to make reasonable efforts at confinement, it could have easily stated so. As written, however, [§] 305(a) unequivocally proscribes the failure to confine one’s dog to one’s premises, period.”
