Humans are not the only ones that can carry the Coronavirus; our furry friends can as well. Texas has the largest number of pets that have or have had the virus. Since April, the United States has had 66 confirmed cases within animals, a third of which came from Texas. This is not including all of those that may have been infected but were not tested. The virus spreads mostly through respiratory droplets like coughing, sneezing, and talking. Though there is no scientific evidence that animals can give the virus to humans, all of those that have been infected were around people at some point.
