Four cases of pneumonic plague (a form of disease that affects the lungs rather than causing the more notorious boils) were found to have originated with an infected pit bull — a first in the U.S. Typically the disease is spread via bites from fleas carried by prairie dogs and other rodents, not from contact with household pets.

What round for pneumonic plague dogs?

Edited title for clarity and for dupes that are sure to come.
