Calls have come in from as far away as Ohio and New York. For a while Sunday, Dobbs believed he had found the boy. He got call from Paris, but it turned out to be a different case. A Dallas physician said the Incubation period for rabies varies But, unless the boy receives anti rabies shot soon, he almost sure ly will die.
