Oh finally! Me, having a intense interest in 15th to 20th century history, I can't wait for packs of rabid dogs to once again roam the streets, It'll be so awesome and such a cool reference. Maybe even bring dog catchers back with comically large nets?

The dog catchers should capture the idiots too.

are packs of rabid dogs roaming the streets something about the 15th to 20th centuries that I should know about

Not really, it's just that before the rabies vaccine and before any sort of organizations to control animals, encountering roving animals with rabies was a real danger with no easy solution. You can still get rabies from nearly any animal, and I'm sure that people in the 3rd century and such got rabies too.
