This is NOT how you prevent rabies!

In dog spinning, which is which is practiced each year at the beginning of March, a man’s “best friend” is suspended hight above water on a rope.
The dog is wound up into a rope, then released so that the dog spins rapidly as rope unwinds, and the dog falls into the water.
