    I had not heard of it until a member of this forum had a dog diagnosed with it.

    sad and scary at the same time isnt it?

    now i'm all for helping dogs all around the world but i wonder, as of now, just how wise it is to import one of the feral dogs from other countries. i know the US does a quarantine for any animal coming in but still wow...
