Can Your Dog Get Ebola? The Answer May Surprise You
Pet Care
by Sam Bourne
August 8, 2014
"An important caveat is, while dogs are able to contract Ebola, they do so asymptomatically. That means, while they can be a carrier of Ebola, they won’t present any of the signs and will therefore remain unaffected by the condition... The fact that they can be a carrier, however, means that they are able to pass the virus on to us, which could present a problem."

Eric vomits outside. Dog licks vomit. Dog gets virus.

Dog licks owners face. Dog pees in child’s sandbox. Owner cleans up poop. Dog bites someone. Lots of ways something bad could happen.
