In the Valencian Community, Law 2\/23 of March 13 by the Generalitat Valenciana regulates the protection, welfare, and possession of companion animals.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the aggressive dog, a mixed breed without a muzzle (as it was not considered potentially dangerous), did not have insurance.
