US soldier dies of rabies after dog bite in Afghanistan | Fox News Bitten by a feral dog in Jan 11, dies in Aug 11.
Remember Ol' Yeller? That is very tragic....rabies is a preventable disease...pre, and post exposure. Fortunately Australia is rabies free...thus far, due to very strict quarrantine enforcement. As I understand it, there are some areas of the USA were rabies is a risk. World Rabies Day | Videos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabies My knowledge and understanding of rabies started when I saw the film, "Old Yeller" as a youngster. I was determined not to catch rabies so that my parents would not be forced to shoot me. As it happened, there have been many occasions when my parents would have happily shot me...rabies or not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Yeller_(1957_film)
