The year-old King Charles Spaniel belonging to the Dallas nurse hospitalized with Ebola has been given comfortable bedding, toys and other items to entertain him while he stays at a decommissioned naval air base, according to The Associated Press.
Bentley was moved Monday from nurse Nina Pham's apartment to his new home, in the former residence of the executive officer at the decommissioned Hensley Field, the AP reported.
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings says city officials vowed to do everything in their power to care for Pham's beloved pet, according to Reuters.
In Spain, after Madrid authorities euthanized a dog belonging to a nursing assistant sickened by Ebola, animal right protesters blocked the nurses home, the AP reported. Authorities were concerned the dog might be harboring the virus though he was not tested for the virus before being euthanized.
Bentley is a 1-year-old King Charles Spaniel, according to the AP. "He's adorable. Clearly a little puzzled by what's going on. But he's in good hands now and will be taken care of," Syed said.
The city and Dallas County have pledged to take good care of him and provide pictures and updates on his status to the health worker's family, the AP reported.
