Excalibur's owner, Teresa Romero, is a Spanish nurse who was diagnosed with Ebola. She and her husband have been quarantined, but now out of fear Spanish authorities want to kill her beloved pet.
Ebola is causing authorities to act in irrational ways: There are no documented cases of dogs passing the Ebola virus on to people. So why should this dog be killed?
It would be much easier to isolate or quarantine the dog just as they have with Teresa's husband. If this woman were to die, the dog which has accompanied them for so many years would be an important emotional support for her husband. This is not "just" a dog, for this couple he is one of the family.

¡¡¡Put the auxiliary's ebola-infected dog in quarantine or isolation rather than sacrifice it!!!
Not only is it unfair to be infected with Ebola by the sanitary assistant due to the lack of necessary means, they must also lose their dog as a result of an thoughtless decision, as it would be much easier to isolate or quarantine the dog just as they have the victim’s husband. If this woman were to die, the dog which has accompanied them for so many years would be an important emotional support for her husband. This is not "just" a dog, for this couple he is one of the family.
