Both pet and wild dogs have become such a problem in Shanghai's Pudong
New Area that officials are planning to set up dog-control teams in order
to investigate dog health, disputes and other issues.

A local legislator proposed that more aggressive measures be taken to
deal with problems caused by dogs and officials are working on creating
the special teams.

The Shanghai Daily reports that, according to an animal control official,
about half of the disputes in the community are caused by pet dogs,
including dog bites, dog fights and excrement.

Meanwhile, as dogs become increasingly popular, incidences of rabies have
risen as well, especially because many owners haven't vaccinated their
pets.

Police say there are 9,000 licensed dogs in the district, while
unlicensed dogs might number three to four times as many.
