Can dogs get swine flu?

I know it is serious for humans.  But i was wondering about me, a pup….and  i am sorta like a pig…  but honestly, can i get swine flu?

can i get swine flu by sharing my human’s food dish?

The scientific reasoning for why experts believe animals can’t catch swine flu: Our genetics are different, and a flu virus that “fits” our human system likely won’t fit within your dog or cat’s.

It is not typical for an animal flu to infect humans, however, this particular strain — the swine influenza A — has mutated in such a way that humans are susceptible, and can pass it to each other.

To this date, there appears to be no information that says that pets can contract swine flu.

I guess for now, us pups remain safe from swine flu, but knowing humans can get it is not cool for us pups.  Us pups do not want our humans to get sick.
