contagious during its stay and while playing with other dogs. >> they sent out a warning to us right away to bring in the dog to get a booster shot. stephen: they are working to track down every dog and person who came into contact with fred. meanwhile, questions remain about how a dog which was vaccinated could contract rabies. >> fred's poor family did nothing wrong. they did everything they were supposed to do. and this dog still came up rabies positive, which is why the department of health is being so careful. stephen: so now there are a lot of questions about the actual vaccine. we have learned that fred received his rabies vaccination at a facility in virginia. the d.c. health department is working with that facility to notify other dog owners who got their dogs vaccinated at that facility in virginia, notify them they may need a

we wish we could tell you where the facility is. nobody is providing that information at this time. reporting live, stephen tschida, abc7 news. jonathan: thanks very much. so what happens if your dog or other pet is exposed to a rapid animal? it depends if the animal has been vaccinated. in is all according to the c.d.c. the extreme measure to prevent suffering and the spread of the disease, you have to put the animal down away. it's that or six months of isolation if the animal survivors. it's not -- isolation if the animal survives. it's a horrible wray for them to go. people should immediately see a doctor for treatment if you are attacked by a rabid animal. nancy: gruesome find on the beach in ocean city. a woman's body between the sand between the border walk and the water. maryland bureau chief brad bell live with the investigation all during the peak beach season. what are the police saying

o'connor had been drinking and was seen walking alone from the boardwalk to the beach. a theory is she fell in a hole dug in the sand. the sand collapsed around her. that is just a theory at this point. that danger is why lifeguards don't allow deep holes. >> we have a policy in ocean city about the hole in the sand because of the danger of collapse. the hole cannot be smaller than knee deep for the smallest person. brad: it was a sad site as the beach turned to crime scene. all day, investigators working to recover the body and any evidence. >> not a good day in this part of ocean city, that's for sure. brad: no, not a good day at all. coming up at 5:00, we will tell you about a second death at the exact same spot at the beach yesterday. second street. this one happening out in very rough surf.
