“In plague, there’s a lot of hot debate,” says Dean, who sees herself and Schmid as more objective observers in this case. “We have no dogs in this fight.”

I recall that in London at the time they thought that dogs were the cause of the plague and set out to exterminate dogs.

Of course, with no dogs to kill rats the rat population exploded.
