All my OK readers, please make sure that your animals are up-to-date with rabies vaccines from a properly licensed veterinarian.  Vaccine scams involving fake rabies vaccines have cost lives abroad, very recently.

**In these cases marked with red asterisks, dogs who were not up-to-date with rabies vaccinations were killed or died as a result.
