Oh, this is NOT being Man's best friend! 
Ewwww..... Not a nice way for the dog to go, to be sure. xr522298d3
Well, at least it isn't Bubonic Plague right? That is the nasty one from the Middle Ages that cleaned the population clock for a few centuries to follow. (The mutt infected a few other people too, and seemed to become a real menace to whatever it came near)

Oh.. yes. Of course it is. It's just one of those years, isn't it? (sigh)
I swear, there are swarms of locusts out there somewhere, with little locust dreams of America on their minds. They'll arrive eventually, just because that seems to be how things are going. lol...
The dog, a 2-year-old American pit bull terrier, became sick last summer with a fever and jaw rigidity, among other symptoms. The dog's health declined so quickly that it was euthanized the following day at a local vet's office, health officials said.

Four days later, the dog's owner entered the hospital with a fever and a bloody cough that became worse over the next few hours, but an initial blood culture was misidentified, according to the CDC report.
As the patient's symptoms grew worse, the test was redone and he was found to have been infected with pnumonic plague, according to the CDC report. The remains of the dog were also tested and were found to be positive for the plague bacteria.

"Pneumonic plague is the worst form," said Douglas. "It’s the one that you least want to get. You get sick fast and the chances of getting a rocky or even fatal course" are increased.
