People around the world have been worrying about Bentley, the King Charles Spaniel owned by Nina Pham, one of the Dallas nurses who came down with Ebola. He got a lot more publicity than some of the people who had come in contact with the nurses – partly because he was so cute, and partly because Spanish authorities had put down a dog that belonged to a nurse infected there.
His 21-day quarantine is over and he is back with Pham.
Nobody seems willing to say how much Bentley’s three week kennel bill might be. A spokesperson for the City of Dallas said the cost of Bentley’s care has been a collaborative effort through the City of Dallas, Texas Animal Health Commission, Texas A&M, TDSHS, Dallas County and community support.” We likely won’t know how much it cost until mid-November.”
