Rabies kills
Rabies is a zoonotic disease (transmitted from animals to humans) caused by a virus. In 99% of human rabies cases the infection was spread by a dog, although all mammals, both domestic and wild can potentially transmit the virus. The virus is spread via saliva, predominantly through bites, but occasionally through scratches. The virus will not enter through intact skin.
We advise you to not approach unknown dogs, and to ensure that your dogs are vaccinated against rabies.
