Rabies is a disease primarily of animals. Most wild and domesticated dog-species (including foxes, coyotes, wolves and jackals) are susceptible to infection. Infected dogs remain the highest risk source for human transmission. Other species include skunks, racoons and bats…
Roundworms are common intestinal parasites of dogs and cats and are highly infectious to people. Almost every puppy and kitten has roundworms.
The bond between pets and people continues to be explored and this story brings that study to an all-new level. While guide dogs for the blind, therapy dogs for autistic children and therapeutic horse riding have been recent topics of this blog and our website (MillionDollarPetPix.com), little did I think we’d be writing about crocs and big green snakes as therapeutic interventions.
