Last I heard about the canine flu is that they haven't determined if it can transmitted to humans. has anyone found out if it can or can't?

I havnt heard anything about it transfering to humans. I did hear of something else though, a bird flu that humans can get but I dont know much about that either.I'll try doing a search online.

I just read a little about it in the paper. It can be transfered to humans. Inglewood, is about 20 minutes from me, by freeway. Its got alot of lower income familys. I wonder if that plays a part in this. Not get vaccinations and what not.

More like more stray animals and whatnot...

Thanks for the heads up, I will pass this on to my dog owning friends, and to my breed club.
I am glad I am taking a brief hiatus from dog class.
I need to get things in order, and don't need things like this to deal with.
My dogs are on lock-down, but they truely don't know the difference
