Rabies is another example of a dog contact problem. The social structure of dogs includes groups or packs. About one-half of all dogs observed on the streets are in the company of other dogs. Behaviors such as chasing and biting people, barking and disrupting trash are therefore more of a health problem than would be the case if dogs were solitary. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1975 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
