They would die anyway. They die because of the disease, not because they bit someone.

A dog with rabies will die because of the rabies infection. If a dog with rabies does bite a human the human can get rabies as well. So if you have a dog who has rabies most of the time the dog is put out of it's misery right away to prevent it from spreading rabies to other people or animals.

I don't know the answer but I have a conclusion, when the dog have a rabies the virus stay on the brain of a dog circulating trough the blood to saliva, and the dog still normal. Now why is the dog die after biting a human? I think it occurs because when the dog is in attack mode, all the rabies virus or so called Lisa virus spread out rapidly on the brain trough the veins having like adrenalin rush, so the brain cell can't control the virus resulting from brain inflammation killing the dogs brain slowly. Then after a weeks or days the dog dies...it is like when u have a drug overdose you might die..that's my conclusion but is not the best answer.

A canines, or any animal, who bites a human is often killed so it is examined for rabies. The attempt is composed of slicing off the pinnacle and interpreting the brains. If a individual is bitten by making use of an contaminated animal then there is therapy which will cease the ailment from progressing in the human, regardless of the undeniable fact that it must be began as quickly as available. as quickly as Rabies warning signs initiate, the possibility of survival is amazingly small, in fact i think of in ordinary terms one individual has ever survived it. So it relatively is important to be certain if an animal that bit you be examined right now. Alternately, some people will initiate Rabies therapy without needing the affirmation. they are going to circulate forward with the therapy on a similar time as the animal is quarantined, they do this to sidestep the animal getting killed. besides the shown fact that if Rabies warning signs initiate in the animal, it relatively is going to likely be euthanized.

The disease is debilitating. It destroys your nerves and your body systems (including brain). The dog doesn't die from biting, the dog dies from the rabies virus. FYI, most dogs don't fit the "normal" rabies profile (foaming mouth, aggressive, etc.) Most dogs (or animals) that have rabies show the passive symptoms. They appear hydrophobic (afraid of water) because they can't drink, their throat doesn't work and they can choke/drown if they try to drink. They get a faraway look in their eyes, are inactive, and often press their heads against something (the floor, the wall, etc.) Those symptoms are more common than the foaming, rabid animal picture that comes to mind.

A dog with rabies doesn't die after it bites a human. It dies because the rabies virus eventually kills it.

they dont die until the rabies run the full course. not after the bite someone.
Rabies:
The rabies virus affects all warm-blooded animals. In wildlife, it is most commonly seen in foxes, skunks, raccoons and bats. Each of these species carries a variant (strain) of the rabies virus. All of these strains can affect pets, humans or domestic animals. Domesticated animals such as cows, horses, dogs and cats commonly act as a source for human infections but people can be infected from wildlife sources as well, particularly bats.
The first step to rabies control in pets is vaccination. All healthy pets should be vaccinated. The rabies vaccine is very effective, costs very little, and it is usually given every 3 years. In horses, it is usually given every year. In most localities, the law requires rabies vaccinations for all pets. The second step to rabies control is a thorough understanding of this terrible disease so that high-risk exposures or contact can be prevented. The third step to controlling of rabies is cooperation between veterinarians, the public, the public health system, and government agencies to monitor and control rabies on a regional level. For example, in some parts of Canada, bait is dropped from airplanes into rural or countryside areas so that wildlife will eat the bait (disguised as food treats) laced with an effective protective vaccine. Public health departments also track and manage human exposures. Rabies moves to and from animals and people through a bite wound or through breaks in the skin or mucous membranes. It’s thought that people can become infected by breathing air around bats, such as in bat caves where the virus is suspended in droplets in the air.
Rabies is almost always certainly fatal. Recoveries are rarely reported. Once the virus enters the body of the animal or person, it travels to the central nervous system along the nerve fibres. It sets up a base in the brain and spreads back out into the body using the nerves to move around once more. The virus particles end up in many body tissues. Of particular importance are the salivary glands (the glands that produce saliva). Once rabies viruses enter the salivary glands they are present in large numbers in saliva and can be easily spread between animals or to people via licking or biting.
Symptoms
Once infected, animals may show widely differing symptoms depending on what stage of the infection they are in. Early in the infection (prodromal) they appear completely normal. This pre-symptom phase can last for long periods of time. A bite on the face will tend to lead to a shorter prodromal phase since the virus is close to the brain, while a bite on the tip of the tail or paw may result in a long phase because it takes longer for the virus to travel to and from the brain.
For a few days at the very end of this prodromal or normal-behaviour phase, rabid animals can pass the virus on to other animals or people. This is the greatest time of risk because the typical rabies behaviours are absent. Once clinical signs of illness start, the animal only has about a week to live. Typically a phase occurs where rabid animals becomes very nasty, and will be irritable and snap and bite without being provoked or bothered. They may attack. This phase is termed furious rabies because the animal seems uncontrollably angry. Finally, the animal becomes progressively paralyzed (termed dumb rabies) and dies because the muscles for control of swallowing and breathing (amongst others) lose their function.
Unfortunately, not all cases follow typical progressive symptoms. For example, rabid cats often become overly friendly and affectionate rather than vicious. They can snuggle up to a child and suddenly lash out with teeth and claws after appearing quiet and nice. A dog may just show what appears to be a paralyzed tongue hanging out. The dog may be quiet, with jaw hanging open and saliva dribbling out of the mouth. One might think he had something like a stick stuck in the roof of his mouth! How about a cow that is restless, foaming at the mouth and when approached, is irritable and grabs a person? Though cows do not have a pile of sharp teeth at the front of their mouth like dogs or cats, this can result in a bite that breaks the skin. How about a pony in a petting facility that gets "nippy" and bites those passing by? Affected animals may also have trouble drinking or eating, and run a fever.
