Sparing the dog of the Nurse with Ebola

Over the weekend another nurse was diagnosed with Ebola and luckily her dog will be spared for now. The dog of the Spanish nurse was not so lucky. We do not know anything about how Ebola affects dogs and we have no test for it. The dog is being taken to another location to be monitored until his owner can recover.

It is very good that they have decided not to make the premature decision to put down the dog. They are giving it a chance to recover and be reunited with its owner. It is very scary that we do not know how Ebola affects dogs and we have no way to know if it is contagious or not. If they were to release it back into society and it were to cause the spread of the disease a lot of people would die and a lot of people would lose their jobs.
