If animals like dogs or cats can be hosts of the virus it adds another pathway of possible human infection we need to be aware of. This could be a source of restarting community spread if the virus could jump back and forth between humans and animals. Knowing what this virus can do, which includes all pathways of spreading the virus will be critical to mitigation until we get a vaccine. Maybe Jim

Read cuterebra's post, so they didn't take a human's test, but oh well.
catches the virus, has really mild symptoms, self quarantines until he's virus free, but his dog goes to a dog park and gets 20 dogs sick. And before you know it 150 people have the virus.

This, just snuffed out the family pooch, slit the pot bellied pigs throat and if i can catch our cat we will be much safer.

Just more info on the case. Nothing new. Samples were tested at Illinois and Cornell veterinary diagnostic labs. Both SARS-CoV-2 positive. Presumed to have been transmitted from keeper to cat.
