Strange article. So much focus on dogs with only one mention of bats who are the primary carrier and spreader of rabies.
The first recorded rabies from a bat was in 2002 so not that surprising that it wasn't a focus on victorian England.
Dogs were seen as the main vector right into the 1980s. Rightly so. A dog is more likely to attack you than a bat.
