My child was recently bit by a dog that did not have its rabies shot(he was bit walking down the street on the sidewalk). After my local PD shrugged it off(it was a little dog and bite) and took 24 hours to tell me it didn't have its rabies shot and sheriff office only told me to talk to my local PD again, the health department really cared. Thanks for caring about our youth and thank you so much for the kind woman I talked to on the phone and understanding my real concerns. My faith is restored .
