Orange County Animal Services received its eighth rabies result from the N.C. Rabies Laboratory after a raccoon tested positive on Friday.
The raccoon had known exposure Wednesday with at least one dog at a county residence near Bethel Hickory Grove Church Road and Meadow Lane in Chapel Hill.
A resident saw her two dogs in the yard circling a raccoon, which they killed shortly after.
The resident removed the dogs from the yard and called animal services to have the raccoon removed and tested for rabies.
Both dogs had up-to-date rabies vaccinations and will receive booster shots according to state law.
Do you think fracking can be done safely?
