“Seems like the British press keeps rubbing it in to the Spanish.”

If there is a developing human - human Ebola epidemic in the UK or US, and there is any truth at all to the theory that Ebola can hide in dogs, there won’t be sufficient facilities to observe pets for x-number of days.

Like I always told my dog, “if it comes down to me or you, it’s gonna be you.”

Whose theory is that, and where did it originate? Please elaborate, I'm always looking to learn.
