The article says that the puppy was 6 months old. Some vets will not vaccinate a dog for rabies earlier than 7 or 8 months and several have told me that 6 months is the absolute youngest that a puppy should be vaccinated for rabies. It could have contacted a rabid squirrel or something. It does seem that someone should have noticed that something was wrong before the dog got to the point of aggression as a result of the illness, however.
Sounds like the classic pit bull owners to me. They're so mean they don't need shots, dontcha know?
How is it that the dog GOT rabies? No vaccinations? And why?

Also, if the dog came when called, and you could get your hands around its neck, it could have been tied and crated, or put somewhere until animal control could arrive. I don't buy this. He was taking out his anger on the diseased dog. It was not only stupid, it was dangerous to him and others.

Please don't insult hillbillies by associating them with Pit-Bull owning trash down in Charlotte.
