Animals need to be careful and for sure protected. Looking forward to summer time. Keeping full faith this pandemic will soon pass.

I read somewhere that corona has been found in dogs years ago. Long before the current outbreak in humans.

Hold my beer. No? Damn. Ok. Let me give this my best shot via the current pleasant alcoholic buzz in my system (tomorrow may suck).
According to the study (referenced below) Not only the tiger but the common house cat be affected by the virus. There's anecdotal evidence dogs might generate a weak reaction to the virus. As a side not ferrets; a more exotic pet can be affected by the virus. So what does this mean? Can't tell you; the study didn't cover transmission of cat to human.

The cold calculus of the article is aimed around using various animals for the testing of vaccines before it hits human tries in spite of popular media spewing "pussy is bad for you."

Fuck that! Just test the vaccine on some Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, then dump the test subjects in the Santa Monica Bay.

WESTBROOK, Maine, March 13, 2020—IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXX), a global leader in veterinary diagnostics and software, today announced that the company has seen no positive results in pets to date of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus strain responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) respiratory outbreak in humans. IDEXX evaluated thousands of canine and feline specimens during validation of a new veterinary test system for the COVID-19 virus. The specimens used for test development and validation were obtained from specimens submitted to IDEXX Reference Laboratories for PCR testing.
These new test results align with the current expert understanding that COVID-19 is primarily transmitted person-to-person and supports the recommendation against testing pets for the COVID-19 virus. For dogs or cats presenting with respiratory signs, the recommendation is to contact a veterinarian to test for more common respiratory pathogens.
There has been a coronavirus vaccine for dogs since the 1980s.
