Can my dog tell if another animal has rabies and avoid them?

Question

Can a dog sense rabies in other animals? If so do yhe dogs avoid them?

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

No, the best of my knowledge that is not the case; they cannot sense rabies. They can sense a dog is behaving strangely but they may or may not decide to interact with that animal. It really depends on the dog's personality.
