In what has become a familiar scenario, a rabid raccoon attacked a dog on Monday, March 19, making it the third confirmed case of rabies in White County this year.

Then on Thursday, March 22, another dog was bitten by a rabid raccoon in the same area of the county, raising the 2018 total of rabies cases to four.

Sean Sullivan, the county’s environmental health manager, said the March 19 incident happened on Frank Black Road, which is northeast of Asbestos Road. The attack involved the family’s pet beagle.
