House pets are often victims in scuffles with stray dogs, and organized packs will hunt domestic animals inside yard enclosures. Homeowners also worry about cleaning up garbage strewn through the streets after a stray dog has wandered through. Stray Dog Diseases: Rabies is a real fear when it comes to a stray dog. If affected, the animal will most likely exhibit neurologic symptoms: unsteady gait and irregular eye movements.
An excess of saliva may be visible around the lips. Stray dogs can also carry leptospirosis, pasteurella, capnocytophaga, and brucella. Children are especially susceptible to infection from intestinal parasites found in dog stool. Many of these parasites can live in a yard for years after initial infestation.

Tommy died young from rabies, but Jimmy survived. He had a shiny black coat and an adorable disposition. Every day when I came home from college, he would run to me with his tail wagging and jump all over me in joy.
It was unadulterated love. He lived a quasi-street-dog life. Sadly, a few years later, he died from rabies as well, leaving us heartbroken. These stray puppies are growing up to be the future Tommies and Jimmies. I remember the first time I saw him two years ago: It was raining, and Alvarez Street, where the subway station is, was a swamp. There he was with his happy face and wagging his tail.
He looked like a ball of mud and fur. His image cut through my immigrant silence, and brought me a consistent sense of familiarity. He kept me company with his sad eyes or hoarse bark. There he was in the street; there I was in a strange country. We were both foreigners, linked by our solitude and longing for the past. For him, it was the home where he had once lived. For me, it was Venezuela. Before we arrived I was adamant. No matter how many sad and abandoned animals we saw, there was absolutely no way I was going to rescue any of them.
But we had three young, healthy pets. It was raining. And dark. And cold. A tiny black puppy out in the rain. By the end of the night she was in our house. He might have German shepherd blood, given his intelligence and looks. Since we met him, he made friends with our Dalmatian, Blondie, and every time we reach his home — a plot of land by the sea that he shares with a toldero named Gabriel, and his hens — he runs to us and kisses us.
Unlike other solitary and stray dogs, Guasa or Lobito looks healthy and happy. Once we thought about taking him with us to the city, but taking the sea out of him may well be like letting the air out of him.
