A mystery dog disease which began to sweep the US last summer is still being investigated. Vet labs in many states are looking into a new, unusual disease that's been threatening the pet population and worrying animal health professionals, who are working tirelessly to determine the cause of the mysterious disease and work on cures.

Described as a respiratory disease and pneumonia that doesn't respond to antibiotics, the symptoms of the new disease include coughing, sneezing, discharge from the eyes or nose and general fatigue. The illness is progressing quickly in some dogs, researchers say, with a few falling severely ill from pneumonia in just 24 to 26 hours.

The timing is odd. Not long ago the globalist types were complaining that pets harmed the environment. Shazam, a disease pops up affecting dogs.

If Im sick I want some “Phrama poisons”. Have a son in law that beat cancer thanks to “pharam poisons”.
An experimental cancer drug saved his life.

They want to make sure we have absolutely no protein at all to eat when they shut off the normal food supply. The only protein available will be each other and this fits very well into their extermination agenda.

I bet this disease was purposely released by the greenie weenies to reduce the population of dogs. I seem to recall a bunch of articles not long ago saying pets were part of global warming, like this one:
