You need to research your own town and county laws. You don't need a lawyer for that.
Here in my town, in Otsego County, New York, a dog is required to be leashed unless on private/owners property. If it gets hit by a car in a road, the owner of the dog is responsible for any damage. And, then, who pays depends on what sort of insurance the dog-owner has. Some home policies pay, and some do not.
Chickens, on the other hand, have the right to go anywhere they please, regardless of who owns them. We still have free-range bird rights on the books since 1798. You can fence them out, but otherwise they can go whereever they please, including City Hall - if the door is open. That applies to all farm birds including ducks and geese.
We also used to have free-range cattle rights. That was repealed though, long ago. A friend of mine had a wandering Holstein wander out in the highway and a car hit it. Car was totalled, so was the cow. My friend, the cow-owner wound up paying a lot of money. He had let his farm-insurance lapse and had to pay out-of-pocket.
Back to dogs, our leash laws say they must be leashed unless on the owner's or private property. Well, I wonder what would happen at my place, since I own almost a mile of town road. The road IS my property, but the town and public have a right-of-way over it. I'm not going to stick my dog out there to find out.

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
