It could not have been colurdered very serious, however, siner the records that have been handed down from those remote times have little or nothing to any about mad dogs. We-cever hear how a wicked high-priest was bitten by the dog of a poor citizen from when he tried to squeeze unjust taxes, though doubtless that sort of thing did happen in Pharoah's land.
