I think the ending of the book, or so I have heard, is this: the Master is being forced to move into a retirement home. The problem is that the retirement home doesn’t allow dogs, so the Master has no alternative but to shoot Copper because he won’t be allowed to go with him, not because he has rabies.
As for the theme of the book being about a changing world with no respect for the old ways, you are correct in that. But it’s a lot more than that. While I haven’t read the book, I have heard a lot about it from external sources that confirm that the book is also about the impact human beings have on their environment, and that is why the landscape of the book gets swallowed up by suburbs, factories and other stuff as the book progresses. Because the countryside has been eaten up by urban expansion by the time Tod dies, the Master’s services as a skilled hunter are no longer useful to the community, and that is why he’s being forced out of his home.
