But it is also there as protection-- my dog does not have a tag with our name and address on it, so if she is lost and found by someone they can contact the Summit County Dog Warden and give them her tag number and then they can contact me.
The problem is that they are not enforced enough and I know many owners who do not have them. And they do not always fine-- because my boss did not have one for her dog and he bit someone and a police report had to be filed and a license was never mentioned.
But I guess it would be hard to keep track-- I mean they would have to do door to door investigations to find out!!  I have my dog license and that is all that matters though!!

You are talking about city registration-one word for this-USELESS
I bet more than 70% of the dogs I see have not been registered. The dogs that are picked up by animal control-their o's are forced to register them with the city at this time or they are not allowed to claim them. Some people don't want to pay the fee b/c they can go out and get another dog from their friend that lives next door whose bitch just had a litter of pit bulls (or insert breed here) for free.
My profession has unfortunately made me hate the human race. We suck.
