Unusual and long-shot request. Does anyone know of any nice, calm, well behaved, healthy adult dogs looking for a new home that would make a good companion to a lonely 90 year old lady?

Looking for a medium to large sized dog, aged 3-7, no preference on gender. She is not interested in pitty/bully/boxer types.

We are aware that there are lot of dogs in the shelters available, but are hoping to find a known dog with predicable behavior for her!

This is a very sad story about a child in Canada dying of rabies after exposure to a rabid bat. It actually happened 2 years ago, but was only in the news recently after a case study was published on the incident.

Cliff notes version: An 11 year old child woke up in a room with a bat resting on him, understandably panicked, swatted it off of him, and his dad managed to catch the bat and released it outside. The child had no visible bite wounds from the bat. It didn't occur to his parents to try to contain the bat for testing. It didn't occur to his parents that exposure to a bat meant he should see a doctor. Three weeks later, he developed neurological illness and tragically died of rabies.

He didn't die because his parents didn't care about him. He died because they didn't understand the risk.

If we're sounding like a broken record about rabies lately, it's because we NEVER want to read a story like this again. We want everyone to know what to do if you have an encounter with a wild mammal, especially a bat, which can bite without leaving visible wounds.

Prompt medical treatment after exposure to a rabid or potentially rabid animal is the only chance at survival - and the treatment in this period is highly successful. Once neurological symptoms develop, rabies is always fatal.

*For the bat lovers out there, we are NOT suggesting that all bats have rabies or that you should kill bats. We ARE suggesting that if you wake up to a bat in your house, have physical contact with a bat, or find your animals in proximity to a bat, you NEED to contact a medical professional ASAP for advice on what to do next.

And vaccinate your critters for rabies!

In the latest issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, infectious disease physicians described the case of an 11-year-old child who died of rabies almost two years ago, and urged people to seek medical attention if they have any contact with bats to prevent potential rabies infection.

Just....vaccinate your dang animals for rabies. It could save their (or your) life.

Rabies affects the nervous system in mammals, including humans.
