when dog has the rabies" said doctor,
"he has lost control of his body and what he
does is mechanical. His jaws snap involun>,
tarily, and ifhe encounters any object, whether
animate or inanimate, he is likely to bite it.
But mad dog does not attack as does an angry
dog. He does not pick out victim nor use
