Buddy the German Shepherd

The first dog in the United States to get Coronavirus; and was the first one to die of it. The circumstances were very tragic, not only because this was first dog to get it, but because it took multiple visits to three different veterinarians to find one who would test the dog for Covid-19. By the time Buddy's family got answers about what he had from the New York and Federal governments, one month had passed since the dog initially got sick. What should have taken about two to three weeks took a month to complete. He is a victim of the systematic Speciesism that tends to be quite prevalent in the U.S. government and the two mainstream political parties.
