Summary
Late Saturday, Cindy Thompson learned she would not need rabies shots after the owner of the dog that bit her showed a veterinarian's vaccination certificate.
Two women contacted Bryan Thompson after KSAL reported the couple's public plea, saying they knew the owner and helping lead the Thompsons to the dog.
The bite happened Friday morning on Beatrice Street in southeast Salina, where Thompson, 71, said a large dark brown shaggy dog lunged across the street and bit her elbow.
Urgent Care had treated the wound with antibiotics and warned the couple they needed to confirm the dog's rabies status within three days, making the owner search urgent.
