Now the pups can get it too… The first dog to test positive for the Coronavirus has passed away in Hong Kong yesterday.

A 17-year-old Pomeranian, passed away Monday after being returned home to its owner following a government quarantine. The dog belonged to a 60-year-old woman who recovered from the virus herself and refused to allow the city to conduct an autopsy on her pet.

The dog was considered to be the first known case of human-to-animal transmission of the virus, with Hong Kong officials believing its owner passed along “low levels” of the virus.
