Mad Dog
A mad dog — frothing, unpredictable, biting — often touches scurrilous attacks on you and your friends, or the fear of being wrongly accused. The dream may ask what rabid hostility is snapping at your reputation, and whether, in standing firm against it, you might overcome adverse opinion and even prosper.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for mad dog, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of seeing a mad dog, denotes that enemies will make scurrilous attacks upon you and your friends, but if you succeed in killing the dog, you will overcome adverse opinions and prosper greatly in a financial way.
[117] See Dog.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of seeing such an animal frothing at the mouth and running, is a sign you will be wrongfully accused of a dishonorable action or crime.
