With the aid of a telephoto lens, it was instantly apparent that it was very ill - even though its coat was very clean and well cared for. It was staggering, snorting, drooling masses of white foam and would fall to its side and go into convulsions every couple of minutes. There is no doubt in my mind that it was in the death throws of rabies."
