DOGS: The importance of a rabies shot

A friend of mine suffered a dog bite while she was running in the 400 block of South Walnut Street in Kennett Square on Oct. 18.  Unfortunately the dog that bit her was not up to date with its rabies vaccination, so not only does she have a painful bite, but she has to undergo a whole regimen of preventive shots.  She reported the situation to the police and the SPCA and asked me to urge dog owners to PLEASE have their animals vaccinated for rabies.
