| However, in public places and residential areas in the city, there are still dogs roaming freely, without leashes, without people leading them, and without muzzles. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Many people have been bitten by stray dogs and had to get rabies shots because they did not know whether the dogs that bit them had been vaccinated or not, or even who the dog owners were. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Letting dogs roam freely is also one of the main causes of rabies transmission. According to statistics, from 2013 to August 2017, Nghe An province had 52 deaths due to rabies; in the first 5 months of 2017 alone, the province had 5 deaths. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Free-range dogs not only bite people but are also the direct or indirect cause of many traffic accidents. In addition, free-range dogs without managers are free to defecate, polluting the environment of the block and ruining the urban beauty. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
