Two separate dog attacks have occurred on the roadways of Madison County, Georgia in March 2014. A cyclist was surrounded and attacked by a group of dogs while riding in one incident and a jogger was attacked by a large dog in another. The dogs involved in both incidents were not up to date on their rabies vaccinations.
The more recent dog bite incident in Madison County, Georgia occurred on Saturday, March 15 when a cyclist was circled by several dogs that ran out of a yard. One of the dogs bit the cyclist on the lower leg and it was later determined that none of the dogs had been vaccinated for rabies. The dogs’ owners were issued a citation and the animals were impounded.
Earlier that week, Madison County Sherriff’s deputies and animal control officers responded to a dog bite involving a jogger. The jogger was attacked by a large dog and suffered a serious bite to her calf that required hospitalization. The dog was not up to date on its rabies vaccination, but tested negative. The dog was euthanized.
