I am a rancher and generally not one to get emotional about animals.

That said, the dog is important to study, as they are probably a vector like they are in Africa. So it is important to study it.

Also, this woman is a hero, a casualty of Obama’s idiocy and political correctness — Patient Zero (and anyone else from this part of Africa) should not have been allowed in the USA -— and I have no problem taking heroic efforts while we can) to save a beloved pet of a hero like this nurse.

Well said. Agree completely.

Well said. Also, as Obola continues with the "nothing to worry about" approach, it needs to be noted that even if patients manage to survive ebola, their pets apparently will have to be euthanized.

Well said.

My husband is a farmer - very matter of fact about animals. The only reason we don’t have livestock is because I named what he had when we got married.

Her dog is of more worth to me than the illegals stealing OUR medical care and certainly of much more worth than the man who is letting the illegals come here to kill us.

In Africa animals get the virus by eating other animals that died from it, surely that is not the virus load this dog may have received.

Furthermore the dog can be tested after he is kept in quarantine to show whether or not he develops the virus.
If he does then he can be euthanized.

Spain simply killed the dog and burned it.

Totally agree with you (farm boy though).

Study the dog, but if it has the virus, destroy it.
