The seven-year-old German shepherd became sick in April, around the same time his owner Robert Mahoney was recovering from COVID-19.
A blood sample is tested at a coronavirus antibody rapid serological testing site on on July 26, 2020 in San Dimas, California, 30 miles east of Los Angeles. The free blood tests were offered by appointment to anybody without COVID-19 symptoms by the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation and Medical Task Force International, two US-based charitable organisations.
Mahoney and his wife Allison, who live in New York, eventually euthanized the dog on July 11 after Buddy began vomiting blood clots, urinating blood and was unable to walk. Some of them were skeptical about pets contracting the virus at all. And most testing supplies were being conserved for human use anyway.
"We had zero knowledge or experience with the scientific basis of COVID in dogs," Robert Cohen, the vet who tested Buddy, told the magazine.
