Synopsis

In The Dog Day, a gripping episode of 21st Precinct, the story unfolds around Harold Weald, a cab driver whose four-year-old daughter has been bitten by a dog owned by Judge Whitney. The incident occurs in a playground, and while the initial medical treatment seems sufficient, a call from the Board of Health reveals a more alarming situation. They cannot reach Judge Whitney to confirm whether the dog has rabies, and if they cannot, the only option left is for Weald's daughter to undergo a grueling series of 22 rabies shots. This news sends Weald into a frantic search for answers.
