American tourists are trying to pet stray dogs in Egypt. These tourists are not aware that the dogs pose a real danger of transmitting rabies as they are not vaccinated!
These street dogs are looking for a handout of food and foreign tourists are all too often unaware that the dogs have not been vaccinated and could potentially be infected with rabies. Travelers (and locals) should avoid coming into contact with stray animals.
Free-roaming dogs are not an uncommon sight in Egypt, and they are unlikely to be vaccinated against rabies. Free roaming dogs, like this one, should not be approached and definitely should not be transported back to another country.
The practice of transporting dogs from rabies-endemic areas has previously resulted in rabies-infected dogs being imported into other countries. Without constant surveillance, rabies could be re-imported into a country free of terrestrial rabies.
