tin canJogger runs mile with rabid fox locked on her arm
quote:
PRESCOTT, Ariz. - Authorities in Arizona say a jogger attacked by a rabid fox ran a mile with the animal's jaws clamped on her arm and then drove herself to a hospital. The Yavapai County sheriff's office said the woman told deputies she was on a trail near Prescott on Monday when the fox attacked and bit her foot.
She said she grabbed the fox by the neck when it went for her leg but it bit her arm.
The woman wanted the animal tested for rabies so she ran a mile to her car with the fox still biting her arm, then pried it off and tossed it in her trunk and drove to the Prescott hospital.
The sheriff's office says the fox later bit an animal control officer. He and the woman are both receiving rabies vaccinations.

DMBThat's pretty frightening, at best...
I read all of this stuff about joggers encountering all sorts of wild creatures doing them harm. Wonder if the joggers have any clue about the dangers they're facing when out in the wild???

That was funny!

I wasn't expecting it! Just as I was thinking "how serious"!

Or on the streets! I had one nearly run into my car after I had stopped for him!
