In germany we got a 5 number ZIP code. In towns or villages with less than
50 to 60 thousand inhabitants there is only one number for the hole town. In
bigger towns we have some or multiple (very big towns) different ZIP
numbers.
It is pretty much the same in the US-- small towns have only one 5 number zip code, larger towns
and cities have multiple.
If you go to www.usps.com, you can enter an address and find out the correct code.
I will leave dogs to those more knowledgeable

Thank you, that helps me. I don't need a special ZIP Code. I try to check
the validity of a study about dogs and dog owner. It was run in Ohio and
they choose the participants by ZIP Code and than randome. ZIP code to be
certain to have dog / person-teams of all areas in Hamilton County.

The same in germany. You pay a fee any year, but the dogs are licensed until
their deth.
And if you do not get the license - , do you call an unlicensed dog a cited
dog?
Thanks

Silke,
Thank you for the information about the terms on the census.

Thanks again,

"Letters of a German American Farmer" by Johannes
Gillhoff and translated to English by Richard Lorenz
August Trost can be found through the University of
Iowa Press, Iowa City, 52242 USA. It gives readers
wonderful insight of German and then American life on
the early 1900's. The author lived in Glaisin,
Mecklenburg before emigrating to the USA.
And about USA zip codes: Often the zip codes are 5
numbers plus four more numbers, ie 63122-1623. The
first 5 are the state/county designation. The next
four are the individual house or business
designation.
I have REALLY enjoyed reading Gillhoff's book. Dottie

The answer is -- Not until the "animal control officer" (once was called the
dog catcher) finds it and writes a "citation" against the owner which says
that the owner must pay a penalty for not having licensed the dog as the law
required. Since the owner of the dog received a piece of paper citing the
law which was broken by being in possion of an unlicensed dog and specifying
the fine which must be paid, both the owner and the dog have been cited.
Unfortunately we have a complicated language where we call a single thing by
many different words and on other cases several different things by the same
word.
