I was guessing giardia, possibly a bit of campy, salmonella, possibly toxoplasmosis, possibly leish. FB however is ramping it up a bit because what people don't know or cant find out they make up and fill in the blanks - so there are suggestions of rabies, anthrax, lepto distemper, parvo (or parvus as it seems to be known round here), TB and any combination of deadliness which may or may not be transmissable to humans - but please tell me guy worried about venereal disease was a joke ??!

Lots of dogs kept in close proximity, its bound to be your Giardia's, Samonellas etc. Wash your hands and you'll be fine ;P

Crikey, that's a raid-and-a-half. Look at all those vans lined up outside ...

I'm always a bit unsure whether it does the RSPCA any good to be associated with things which make them look like the Politburo.

But that aside, you're right, that's really bad journalism.

I'm trying to think what diseases they're talking about, because the ones I can think of are pretty rarely transferred to humans.
