A North Carolina family’s pug may be the first dog in the United States to test positive for the coronavirus, according to researchers. Three members of the McClean family -- Sam McClean, wife Heather and their son, Ben -- contracted COVID-19 last month. He is believed to be the first dog in the country to test positive for the virus, according to the university. Federal officials announced last week that two cats tested positive for the novel coronavirus in New York. Two dogs under quarantine in Hong Kong also tested positive for the virus, according to officials there.
