The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has introduced a bill on March 31 to strengthen responsible dog ownership. All owners will have to register their contact details in a government database along with the microchip number, colour, and name of their furry friends.

Replacing the previous lifetime registration system, the government wants those details reconfirmed annually.
