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.

LOL!!! I dont know about that. I would really have no choice but to strike it with something. Theres no way i could run so i would have to try to scare it away. Maybe after being clobbered or kicked it will go away.

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 agree with you, i will also do that if i will be on that situation.

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.

lol, dogs are really fast runners but you know we do not know, what we can do if our life is really in danger, you know... the adrenaline thing... Hahahah i am sure it will activate and we will be a super human if that situation come to us. I just pray it will not.

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.

You are right, it's peoples fault, or should i say the handlers fault, they always get dogs but they cannot handle it in a proper manner.

You are right about that, we cannot run faster than them unless our adrenaline activates, i remember one time my father is being chased by a dog, and OMG i really cannot believe on what i saw... He climbed up a wall like spider man! LOL!

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.

You are right they are really a great hunter, that is why it is better to fight than to run, for dogs, it's like.. you can run but you can't hide.

O yeah but we cannot tell what will happen specially there is a rabid dog, but if you see one try not to run, try to defend your self for good, running is not a better idea for rabid dogs, they are much faster runners than us.
