could also be passed on the street, in dog runs or even by a human transferring it from one dog to another. Kennel workers have carried the virus home with them, she said. Man's best friend - but the reverse may not be true...
Prediction: Someone will introduce a bill in congress to have the CDC make this a top priority.

Maybe cock fighting will come next.. how better to "spread" Avian flu!!

racing isn't all that cruel, but what they do with "surplus animals" should earn the practitioners public execution by scourging.

I don't know that for sure, all I know is that I have 2 retired greyhounds being walked by a very nice gal who is minus a quart.. they poop on my lawn (which is okay)
But between the three of them, they are so "buzzed out" I wonder if they know collectively where home is..
She always waves when I drive by, and I have a 4 yr old choc. Lab who is really cute, but dumber than a box' rocks!

Of high interest since many human anti-virus vaccines are made from horses. This flu began with horses and moved to canines - sounds suspiciously like a variant of West-Nile virus.
Horses have been routinely vaccinated for West Nile for a couple of years now --- when did this one start?
