Read the passage below from Zora Neale Hurston in Their Eyes Were Watching God.
"The dog stood up and growled like a lion, stiff-standing hackles, teeth uncovered as he lashed up his fury for the charge. Tea Cake split the water like an otter, opening his knife as he dived. The dog raced down the back-bone of the cow to the attack and Janie screamed and slipped far back on the tail of the cow, just out of reach of the dog's angry jaws."
Using your mouse, select the details in the passage above that reveal that the dog has rabies. When you hover over a related detail, its background will turn green.
