    SAN FRANCISCO-January 12, 2005 — San Francisco dog owners could find themselves in the doghouse if they don't treat Rover right.

Animal control officers say it was difficult to prosecute pet abusers under the old law, because the standards were too vague. By law in San Francisco, Fido is considered what's termed a companion dog. And a pet owner is actually a pet guardian.
