Monkeypox has continued to spread in the U.S. and in countries all over the world, but for the first time, a dog has tested positive after its owners showed symptoms.

It has been unclear whether or not the virus could be spread from human to animal, as the virus is zoonotic, meaning it is more commonly known to spread from animal to human.

However, a recent report from The Lancet showed evidence that two patients, both male who lived together, contracted monkeypox and most likely gave the virus to their 4-year-old Italian greyhound.
The couple arrived at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, France, on June 10 with symptoms of monkeypox, including rashes and ulcerations, as well as headaches and fevers.
The report said that 12 days after the onset of symptoms, their dog appeared to have the same scabs and lesions that coincide with monkeypox. Using PCR testing protocol and comparing monkeypox virus DNA sequences from the dog with one of the dog's owners, it was confirmed that the dog had monkeypox.
The report added that the men said they let their dog sleep in their bed but had been carefully isolating their pet from contacting other dogs or humans after they developed symptoms.
