What will you do if you saw a wild a rabid dog? This event happens most of the time around the world. Then what will you do? Will you run? Will you stay? or Will you fight? Well i guess i will stay and if the dog will approach me i will fight, running will do no good thing to me, cause dogs are sure much faster than me specially when they are not anymore in control. I better kill the dog before he kills me. How about you? What will you do?

Did you ever see a monkey climb a tree? That would be me in a flash, haha. I think I would try to find something I could climb on, hopefully. Or something I could whack it with, what a scary thought, ew.

well, firts i get something to defend my self then i'll observe the dog, i'll try to make lesse moves, running is not really good it will only makes the dog go mad, if the wild dog is really gonna hurt me, well sorry for the dog cause i gonna defend myself, i'll bit him before it bite me.

Dog rabid or not can sure enough out run me. Even if i didnt have foot and leg pain that day. Like i tell my grandkids...grandma dont run. So that dog rabid or not will get the feel of my big heavy handbag or a foot upside his head. How many ever times is necessary to stop him. So i would stay and fight.

Like any smart person place the animal and yourself between something. If necessary protect myself and others at all times...
Remember always luv/ care for your dog/ pet, they will always luv u...

But what if the dog is not yours? And the dog have rabies? What will you do? I think you are right at first, defending yourself is the best option for it. I guess a dog with a rabies cannot be controlled anymore that is why it is better to kill it, if we can't then let us ask someone who can. Thank you so much for the response. ^^

I would run because I reckon I'm as fast depending on the type of dog I suppose but climbing over things would settle the matter I think, and I am a good climber so I dont think it would be a problem.

O yes just like what my father did we he was chased by dalmatians and shepherds. he climbed to the wall like spider man. And i really can't even imagine that he can do those things. HAhahahahaha. Anyway let's just hope it will not happen cause it is a scary situation.

I will ask someone to shoot the dog so that it will not cause any harm to any human. You might find me bad but I will really do it.

I would run away from it. I can run pretty fast and still if it caught up with me I would hit it with something because I wouldn't want it to bite me. When I got to a telephone I would call animal control and tell them about the dog and ask them to come and get it because it's dangerous for a wild and rabid dog to be out there.

it's really scary to see them, especially the owner is not near them.
I think i will stay for a while to see what will happen. if the dog is still or away i would try to find my way to leave them.
It's really annoying so many people like to have dogs, but don't lead them when they are in public. i have a public grass near my flat, but so many dogs stop me walking there.

It happened in my life, when dog was barking, i was frightened , i started to run, but dog was faster then me, it was really my bad day, i topple over the road, i was bitten by the dog very easily, then i went to hospital in relative car, doctor injected me 7 long injection,s.I was crying these moments, after this event, when i see dog, i never try to run, just stop, and try to carry some tools from the road.

Well, I remember the time when I was biking and then two dogs bark and chased me. Although I panic a little because I thought they'll gonna bite my foot, they were very close then. Now if a dog tries to do that to me when I'm walking I'll just stop and look it closely until it's owner gets him, but if I'm very unlucky that day and it doesn't have an owner I'll just fight it, but first I'll look for something that I can used as a weapon, like my slipper or a long hard stick on the road.

I think I don't know what to do if rabid dog chase me. When I was a kid I experieced that dog chased me so I don't know what to do so I run which is not helping because the dog run after me. Rabies is very dangerous and the owner of the dog should be responsible owner.

If I saw a wild dog, I would probabbly freeze in my tracks. I would probably be too terrified to move. Thoughts of being torn apart from a wild dog would definitely be running through my mind. Hopefully, this scenario never comes to fruitiion.

I would go away calmly without reacting because i do not think until we provoke it may harm us,may be sometimes some furious ones may attack us.I would go away and make a call to animal care centre so that they come and capture it.I can never even imagine killing a dog or any other animal my self.

But what if it really attacked you? Rabid dogs are uncontrollable and insane in nature, i think if the situation is getting harder and harder, you will also do it even if you don't like it, it's like doing things by any means necessary just to save your own life.

I'll take the bat out of wood or metal, or anything that could be used to hit, then I tap into the dog's body. If it's in pain, then it will run away and leave us. But if it continues to attack, then I'll tap that stick on its head. I did not kill as much as possible, just make it hurt. Because I love dogs .... If we run, it was a bad idea, because we do not know how soon it will come after us. Dogs are a great hunter. It has a keen sense of smell and patient in looking for prey, if we keep running, we'll run out of steam, and when we are careless, the dog could suddenly attack and bite us. And when that happens, pray ... hopefully it is not diseased dog rabies.
