Steve Williams is dogged — so dogged that he got bit by an actual dog. The dog attack happened while Williams was out doing his job: tracking down renters in the poorest parts of Milwaukee and trying to ask them questions. To reach some people, hed call or return to their residence 10, 20 or 30 times. While pursuing another interview — knocking on doors with a clipboard — he was mugged, he said, but lost only $17. Collecting data can be dangerous. I sort of see it as part of the job, Williams said.
