The only time a dog bites in sane scenarios is when it suspects the person to be of harm or an enemy.
A mad dog is infected with the rabis virus and thus when it bites a human being it transmits the organism to the human's body. This is a deadly virus and the patient has no chance of recovery.
The civil authorities all over the world have an eye for dogs that are rabid and there is a strict order to kill any dog that is tested positive for the disease while the remaining should be vaccinated as a precaution. The manifestations of being infected by the rabies virus are malaise and extreme hydrophobia or fear of water. The patient is scared of water and has to given an anti rabies serum and kept in isolation till he improves. This is not the fate however of the dog who has to be kept in isolation and shot dead upon confirmation of the disease.
