I'm extremely glad that God intervened in Dallas and saved Nina's best friend unlike what happened in Spain.
Wasn't this a step in the right direction?

| Nina Pham, 26, who tested positive for Ebola said she was happy to know her dog was being cared for. |
Unlike Excalibur, the dog owned by a Spanish nursing assistant infected with Ebola that was euthanized last week, the canine in Dallas will be sent to a new location to await its owner's recovery, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said.
"We just felt the dog is very important to this hero of a health-care giver and we're going to do anything we can to help," Rawlings said in an interview in Dallas. The dog will be moved from the house to a safe location and be cared for by the city, he said. "I believe the pet hasn't caught anything."
Rawlings wouldn't give the dog's name or breed.
Animal-rights activists had protested all night outside the apartment block in Alcorcon, near Madrid, where the 12-year-old Excalibur lived with the health worker diagnosed with Ebola on Oct. 6. There's no evidence pets play an active role in transmitting the deadly viral disease to humans, according to the World Organization for Animal Health.
