Rabies  went through SE Mass. about 10-15 years ago  >>>>>>
 
Locally, we had that episode where a fox came out of the woods next
to a young boy mowing a lawn.  The boy was immediately bitten,  but
the skin was not broken.  His father, who attempted to intervene  was
also bitten, and this time deeper.  Some neighbors managed to  shoot
the fox.   
 
Foxes are ordinarily so reclusive that rabies was suspected
right off, and the tests were positive.  The father is undergoing  the
standard injections.
