YAY!!!!!!! I’m so glad little Bentley the cutie-dog didn’t have to die because of the ignorant, selfish POS Duncan, who got what he deserved.

If ... there is any truth at all to the theory that Ebola can hide in dogs

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

Ah, that’s great. I would be so depressed to be released from the hospital virus free and not be able to hug my doggy.

I wasn’t making it up, just going by what I’ve heard. They didn’t put the Spanish nurse’s dog down out of meanness. They legitimately thought there was a threat.

And don’t hold me to what these sources say, I have no idea what the truth is.

None of those links mention a theory that dogs carry Ebola. They all say they don’t get sick when exposed and that there is no evidence of anyone ever having contracted Ebola from a dog.

I heard it bandied about, I’m not making it up. Obviously the Spanish believed it, and the people who bothered to test Bentley.

Here: dog + ebola + vector =
