Victoria state Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh said four new offences would be added to the Crimes Act so owners of dangerous, menacing or restricted dog breeds could be jailed if their animal endangered a life or caused death.
"We are sending a clear message to owners of these dogs: if your animal endangers life or kills somebody, you will be held accountable," Walsh said.
"The most serious offences apply if the dog in question kills another person and carries the same penalties as dangerous driving causing death."
