Boy bitten by Rabid Beaver

Had a couple rabid beaver locally in NE CT a few years ago. Dog went into the water and was attacked. The couple with dog jumped into the river to save him. If I remember correctly, the man almost lost his thumb and the woman was bit in the thigh. The state had a trapper in (not me), five beavers caught, two were rabid.

Somewhere in NC this week we had a rabid groundhog.

Watched the video, the lodge was beside where the attack happened and they had a small dog. Have to wonder if there where kits around and momma was doing her thing.

Exactly my thought. Had it happen to me when I was a kid walking with my dad’s Great Dane, I didn’t get bit, but I broke my walking stick defending the dog. In the spring and early summer momma bev’s can be crazy aggressive around their house.
