Updated: Rabid Pit Bull Loose in Allentown

From Allentown: Residents in the vicinity of the 1200 block of S Seventh Street in Allentown should be on the lookout for a stray tan Pit Bull that has been exposed to rabies.

A city animal control officer observed the dog in a fight with a skunk on Wednesday, August 5. The officer attempted to tranquilize the dog, but it escaped through a backyard fence.

Tests on the skunk today came back positive for rabies.

The dog had visible flesh wounds on its muzzle and old scars across his entire body.

A canvass of the neighborhood did not turn up anyone who was familiar with the dog.

Anyone who sees the dog is urged not to approach it and to call 911.

A picture of the dog is here:

As you can clearly see, I am not the rabid pit bull in question.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
