Dallas health officials say Ebola patient Nina Pham's dog has tested negative for the deadly disease.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Bentley has been in quarantine since Pham's diagnoses last week. Dallas Animal Services has been overseeing his care.
Samples taken from him on Monday show he does not have Ebola. New samples will be taken and tested at the end of his 21-day quarantine period.
Pham is being treated at the National Institutes of Health in Maryland. She is currently listed in good condition.
Lucky dog.
Kind of like post death-by-cop, dog tests negative for being menacing to the officer.
I can't pray any harder for Ms. Pham, but I like her more.
That good news because I think Nina Pham is a sweetheart.
Woof woof :.)
Some heartwarming news :)
She sure seems like one and hopefully she will be reunited with her dog, soon.
So happy that Bentley is doing well..such an adorable little pooch!!
Nina is a sweet girl, she did everything right, kept her family away, reported immediately that she had a fever, such a sweet girl..I pray everyday for her speedy recovery..she LOVES Bentley so much, he deserves extra tummy rubs and kisses for all he has been through
I bet Nina is relieved..
BTW I thought I saw where one of the nurses was doing poorly..
is it the other one ???
Wish I had gone to a British betting parlour on Jan. 1 and plunked down a few quid on the proposition of that headline appearing.
Awesome. Now Nina has to get well.
The mother claims she is doing well...or some such thing.
Meanwhile, a lot of conflicting stories about what went down as it pertains to her plane trip. Everyone trying to CYA.
In my opinion, veterinary microbiologists are more than capable of handling Level 4 disease. Almost all of the dangerous viruses and bacterium originate from animals.
We can’t be too sure about Ebola Doggie Patient Zero.
First the Bentley get Ebola, then the other dogs in the neighborhood get Ebola, then cats get Enola, then the fleas get Ebola and then Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers gets Ebola and then millions of Americans catch Ebola from listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
This is cute for the cat lovers

In another light, hope she gets well soon.
You did notice the dog is alive and quarantined, yeah? So actually not very much like it at all...this means he gets to KEEP living.
