One of my pet mink was missing a tail, likely chewing it off herself from anxiety. Her name was Stella, based on their scientific genus, Mustelidae. They both had defects, so they were given to me because their fur couldn’t be sold  And they would have been killed & thrown out. Sadly they both died within three months of me obtaining them, likely due to diseases they had acquired on the farm. They are kept in wire cages barely large enough to turn around. They are breed, fattened up until they are 1 year old, and then suffocated & skinned. 

That's the most horrible thing i read today

Yes, as of now dogs are safe. However, if someone with covid-19 sneezes and coughs all over your dog, and then you go and pet his fur and then touch your eyes or something, you can catch it. NOT because your dog *has* Covid-19, but because his fur will act as a fomite, just like any other surface, really.
