To own a dog: You need a licence.

What ? In what country ?

In most areas in the USA you need to get a Rabies tag. You pay the county (or whatever) a fee and get a certificate and a tag to put on your dog collar. Both are numbered and can be used to get your information if your dog is picked up by animal control. They don't always call it a license, but that's basically what it is.

Oh

In europe we have subdermal microchip implants for that (the animal can't lose it and doesn't need to wear a collar). Also they aren't mandatory but practically every pet that is allowed to go outside has one.

We "need" a rabies tag in the same way that you need a "TV" license in the UK except far less taken rate. Op is greatly exaggerating here.

Absolutely no enforcement except as secondary issues arise.

I have literally never heard of anyone volunteering that they have a dog, and they did buy the "mandatory" license.
