The dogs that tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 likely caught it from their owners, Nature News reports.

Two dogs in Hong Kong — a Pomeranian and a German Shepherd — tested positive for the virus, though neither showed signs of illness. As they report in Nature, researchers from the University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong government examined samples from dogs whose owner became ill. The viral genomes isolated from these two dogs were identical to the viral genomes isolated from their owners, indicating, the researchers say, SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted from humans to animals.
