BY J. CARL HEMINGWAY
HFA Fieldman
When a stray dog is ashet it
hardly rates The headlines but
when this particular dog
showed many of the symptoms
of rabies it becomes an alto-
gether different matter.
Such a dog appeared in the
Brussels area. 'rhe dog was
shot, the Health of Animals
Branch was notified imme-
diately but they advised the
farmer to simply bury the dog
since none of his family or
livestock were known to have
come in contact with the ani-
mal.
However the question arises
"Was this really a stray dog
or did it belong to someone?"
There was no dog tag so own-
ership could not be determined.
If this dog did belong to some-
one then it had the rabies be-
fore it wandered away. Could
it have infected a member of
that family before leaving
home? And of course there is
the possibility that it didn't
have rabies but. something else
was making it act in this
way.
This incident seems to point
nut the fact that we can ex-
pect to run into this disease
periodically and that we must
be continually on the watch for
it.
if dogs are carefully tagged
by their owners, as they should
be, then the owner can be noti-
fied of thedanger.We realize
that these. dogs should not be
shot but it is very difficult to
pen up a stray dog without
danger of being bitten.
