Tower Lawn is a popular spot for San Jose residents and SJSU students to bring their dogs to run around and interact with other dogs that may be on campus. In the last few weeks, there has been a spike in dog flu cases around the Bay Area – especially in the South Bay. In light of hearing about the canine influenza virus, some dog owners are keeping their dogs home in an effort to keep them healthy. “It’s pretty quiet right now because of the dog flu,” San Jose resident Elizabeth Porte said. “A lot of the dogs have gotten sick so almost everyone has been keeping their dogs home, keeping them out of the exposure of other dogs so they don’t get other people sick.” For Porte and her Great Dane Harley, the dog flu has not ILLUSTRATION BY MARCI SUELA | SPARTAN DAILY stopped them from going on their daily walk on campus.
