Navi Mumbai, India – A dog in need of veterinary help has died as a result of local police refusing to provide an essential service pass to its owner thrice. Even veterinarians and clinic staff are prohibited from going to work.

Not only that, but both pet owners and clinic staff face opposition from local residents before they can reach clinics. “My society has said that if I go out, I must not come back in. I have two cats at home. How can I not come back?” said Dharvesh Yadav, a para vet working in a clinic at Andheri who hasn’t reported for the past 4 days.

The Blue Cross Charity of Tiverton and Torquay, England has launched the campaign of awarding the Blue Cross Medal to prove that not all who wear capes are heroes – some are with fur and four legs.

Sally de la Bedoyere, Blue Cross Chief Executive, said, “The Blue Cross Medal champions all heroic pets – from amazing assistance or therapy pets and animals in the services, to every-day household pets who make exceptional companions. If you own or know of a pet that has done something out of the ordinary to change someone’s life, we want to hear from you.”

This year will be the 80th anniversary of the medal’s milestone and the nationwide search lasts until April 30 this year.

Pocatello Animal Services Director Josh Heinz reassures the public that there are still four employees looking after the animals in the pound. The animals supposed to be endangered without care are receiving the same treatment as before.

The shelter had been closed to the public to help stop the spread of COVID-1 and pet adoptions are being forbidden in the meantime. Aside from the animals receiving care as they did before, the pound and its staff members still respond to calls of picking up stray animals made by the public.

An exception to this is that the pound will not take in trapped stray animals and strongly advises local residents to cease trapping amidst the pandemic.

Port Lavaca, Texas – Local community members volunteered their time along with their pets to help cheer the local neighborhood isolated in their homes due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

When news arrived that seniors who were residents are isolated in their rooms at local living facilities due to the outbreak, community members and neighbors decided to get together to provide smiles and make other isolated community members happy.

“I started brainstorming things that could be done to help, such as putting bird feeders and yard art outside their windows,” said Veronica Koliba. “Then the thought of a pet parade just popped in my head that other than family, who or what would bring joy and smiles to anyone’s face?  Duh, animals.”

In Belgium, a cat had diarrhea, experienced vomiting, and difficulty breathing after being infected with COVID-19 from its owner who traveled from Northern Italy.

On that same day, Hong Kong’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department released a report of a 17-year-old Pomeranian that was initially tested “weak positive” for SARS-CoV-2 yielded results confirming COVID-19 infection.

This raises the question of “Should pets be tested for COVID-19?” to avoid the spread of infection to humans and other animals.

Timothy Baszler, Executive Director of the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (WADDL) says that “Even though we have no evidence that pets can transmit the virus, we desperately need [more] evidence one way or the other.”

In Franksville, Wisconsin, Stepping Stone Farms hopes to help first responders and frontline healthcare workers by easing their stresses from the battle of flattening the COVID-19 curve.

As part of the inclusion for the social distancing measure, frontliners and first responders who think about visiting the farm are required to contact the first for scheduling a 30-60 minute period of decompression and therapy.

Part of the “get away from it all” experience is to wander the paths at the farm, feed the chickens, pet the therapy horses and other farm animals. The farm’s executive director Lia Sader states that studies show that “Fresh outside air and human-animal interaction significantly reduces physiological anxiety levels.”
