Please put this where ever it needs to be.  
Austin Texas,Zilker Dog Park  
Someone had a Border Collie mix at the park,playing with the other dogs and Fetch with at least one child. The dog was pre-symptomatic ,but was taken to the Vet 4 days later and diagnosed with rabies. For some reason the dog had NOT been vaccinated.  
So far the child has not been located… Two women with him,none spoke English. Child was very blond and pale,elementary school age.  
I know this board is world wide,so if anyone you know has been to Texas in the past two weeks,you might mention the dog park incident

Was there a news article about this or something?

ETA: one of the least-useful thread titles I’ve seen in a while …

Here’s an [article](http://www.myfoxaustin.com/story/28189682/officials-confirm-rabid-dog-visited-zilker-park-dog-park).

I though the thread might be referencing the book I just put on my Kindle, [Rabid](http://www.amazon.com/Rabid-Cultural-History-Worlds-Diabolical/dp/0143123572/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424971749&sr=8-1&keywords=rabid). I think I read about it in another SDMB thread.

Sorry about that… I don’t know if I could change it.
