is a dog defined in Japan’s Animal Welfare Law?

Japan’s Animal Welfare Law defines a dog as “a dog (Canis lupus familiaris) of the Canidae family.” This definition is found in Article 2 of the Animal Welfare Act.
The Animal Welfare Act is a law enacted to promote the welfare of animals, including the protection and proper breeding of animals and the prevention of abuse. We are required to take responsibility for animals, including dogs, such as proper breeding and protection, and prohibition of abuse.
In addition, since dogs are kept by many people as pets, there are laws and regulations related to dogs other than the Animal Welfare Law. For example, there are regulations established by local governments, such as ordinances regarding dog registration and breeding.
