Strange article. So much focus on dogs with only one mention of bats who are the primary carrier and spreader of rabies.

Dogs were seen as the main vector right into the 1980s. Rightly so. A dog is more likely to attack you than a bat.

The first recorded rabies from a bat was in 2002 so not that surprising that it wasn't a focus on victorian England.
