MC veterinary official Dr HS Dalla said it was suspected that the dog had died, as disease-ridden dogs do not live long. “However, we will continue to search for the canine.”

The dog was rescued from Gill Road nearly 10 days ago and was later found to be suffering from rabies. The dog had bitten many people on Gill Road and the surrounding area.
