| Thinking the incidence of Rabies in Alaska may be very low? IDK. Still needs to be handled more seriously IMO.

| Yes, it does. What good are laws if not enforced? IMO it is just asinine the way this has been dealt with or shall I say not dealt with.

| It sounds like animal control is severely lacking. If they knew the other dog wasn't current on his rabies, they should have notified you right away. When Buster was attacked by another dog and it was nothing compared to Lucy's, my vet was going to call animal control if the other dog wasn't current on rabies. In fact he gave her a deadline to produce the shot records. This is crazy and you are staying so cool...I was jumping up and down and being a hot head everytime I had to contact the other owner...

| How many cases in your area are there? My hubby got bit trying to rescue a little dog here in California. The did a rabies test when they caught the dog. It was negative. They said that there wasn't a positive test in almost 10 years...

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | I don't think rabies is prevalent in Alaska, although Googling shows one case last year for a dog not in my area. It can occur in wildlife, everything from foxes to squirrels.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Update: I spoke with animal control's PR person, who is a longtime acquaintance and I trust, and she said she checked with the enforcement supervisor. Per code, quarantine is only for dog, cat and ferret bite to human. She said there has not been a case of rabies originating in Anchorage in over 50 years. I feel a little better. Besides, quarantine is only for 10 days, and it's been 5 weeks. Now I just need some resolution to the case! I provided a witness statement. He agreed with my version of the attack 100 percent, but English is a second language and the writing was a little rough. Hopefully, it's enough along with all the other evidence I've given her.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | I agree. I'm biting my tongue for now and hoping things work out. It is moving ahead, just glacially slowly. I'm not sure I'll help if I go over her head, especially when legally she wasn't required to quarantine the other dog or even let me know. In retrospect, I should have asked.
