“Dear PoPville,

I got a very minor dog bite on Shepherd Street near 14th on Sunday around 3pm. I was not injured but the bite broke the skin and I’d feel a lot better if I could verify the dog’s vaccination history.

The dog was a gray, medium-sized pitbull, and the man walking him was a young-ish, average height, slim African American man. I was surprised in the moment and walked away without following up with him. I’m not out to make any trouble at all–I’m just hoping to verify that the dog is current on his rabies vaccine, or if the dog is not vaccinated, I’d like to stay in contact with the man, so that he can keep me apprised of the dog’s health after 10 days. The rabies shots are expensive and extremely time-consuming (and presumably painful), so I’d really, really like to avoid the shots if I can. Again, I don’t want anything at all from this man except the dog’s vaccine status. If anyone can put me in contact with him, or has any ideas where he and his dog live, I’d be incredibly grateful. Thank you!”
